Like A Girl

Like A Girl

She wore a t-shirt her brother gave her
Pulled her hair back and got up to bat
With the first pitch the bat cracked 
Nobody believed she could hit like that 

She was in 10th grade, only got straight A’s 
She could kick far, could be the football star 
But the coach said, “Girl, you can’t start 
“’Cuz girls weren’t made to play that hard”

Her whole life she’s heard
“You’re pretty good, pretty good for a girl”  
But she won’t let that in to her world 

(Chorus)
Hit as hard as you can 
Run as fast as you can
Love as deep and be all that you can 
Stay as strong as you can 
Fight as long as you can 
Believe as big and dream for all that you can
And that’s what it means to live it, do it, own it 
Like a girl, like a girl, like a girl  

She never bought into that clique  
That boys can do what girls can’t do 
Cuz she’s living proof that being true 
Is living your life with nothing to loose 

All the way, breaking, breaking through

(Repeat Chorus) 

So hit like a girl 
Run like a girl 
Fight like a girl like a girl like a girl 
Love like a girl
Dream like a girl 
Own it like a girl like a girl like a girl 
Yeah 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Like a girl, like a girl, like a girl
