Girl Warrior

I spit.
Pitch a fit.
Gonna be rich.

I fight.
Always right.
Make my own light.

I shout.
And cry out.
What I'm about.

Oh mother, I stand on your shoulders.
But I won’t wait until I’m older, I’m a girl warrior.

I ​decide.
Let it ride.
On the outside.

I bleed.
Take a lead.
Never in need.
​
Oh mother, I stand on your shoulders.
But I won’t wait until I’m older, I’m a girl warrior.

Don't tell me what to wear, what to like, what to watch, what to want, what to win, where to live, where to be, how to be, how to live, how to think, how to feel, how to love, who to love!

Never!

Oh mother, I stand on your shoulders.
But I won’t wait until I’m older, I’m a girl warrior.

I’m a girl warrior!
I’m a girl warrior!
I’m a girl warrior!
