Stand Strong Girl
Stand strong girl
And never back down
You've finally had enough
And you're holding your own
You don't need anyone
Especially not a man
To define who you are
It's time to make a plan
What is it in life
That you've wanted the most
Success, love, maybe wealth
Or just to take it easy and coast
After living in shadows
Of every man you've let in
It's time to feel the sunshine
With your face to the wind
Do not fear the solitude
Weren't you already there
In a room full of people
Wishing someone would care
It's ok if they don't get it
Or find it hard to engage
This isn't about them
More so it's your rage
You're mad that you've settled
You're pissed they took aim
Intent on destroying you
So you'd feel the shame
Until enough was enough
And you fired back
Now they can't understand
Throwing it all off track
What they'll never see though
Was you there all along
Just taking their bull
Shows they were wrong
So stand strong girl
Do not be afraid
You were born for this fight
It's just how you were made
