Strong Girl
By Elizabeth Barnes
ACMF National Song Competition 2016
Verse 1
All my life,
I've been told that boys and girls have equal rights,
But I know that that’s not true,
I bet my life,
That there are girls in this world who have to fight for every right for every step for every
word.
Pre-chorus
It makes me sad it makes me mad, and I wanna let it all out.
I wanna make the world stop,
And hear me shout,
Chorus
That I can walk,
I can do it just as well.
And I can talk,
I can shout and sing and yell.
And I can dance, and spin, and leap, and twirl,
And I can do it just as well cause I'm a strong girl.
Verse 2
Sometimes it goes,
I lose my temper and explode.
They ask me why,
I say just cause I'm not a guy,
It doesn’t mean that I'm not brave and strong and I won’t stop,
And I won’t stop,
I won’t stop fighting for our rights cause I'm a strong girl.
Bridge
This song is not me,
Living in my luxury.
It’s for all those girls in places,
Where they’re not allowed a voice.
Where they’re not allowed a choice.
Where they have to walk behind.
Where they’re not allowed to show,
That they can be beautiful.
Where they’re not allowed to know,
That they can change this world.
Chorus
But I can walk,
I can do it just as well.
And I can talk,
I can shout and sing and yell.
And I can dance, and spin, and leap, and twirl,
And I can do it just as well cause I’m a strong girl.
And I can do it just as well cause I’m a strong girl.
And I can do it just as well,
cause I’m a strong girl.
