It is not about just one dayThe battle for me is constantly onI shall fight with all my mightUntil inequality is all gone
I will learn to strengthen myselfFirst the mind, then the body and soulI don't want to be the fairer sexI don't need anyone to make me feel whole
I will fight the meaningless normsI may bend, but I'll never breakI look for life beyond the kitchenI'm not born to cook and bake
Short, long, slit or openI will wear what I wantLet them stare and commentI'll not succumb to their taunt
I'll give life to my dreamsI've learnt to play this gameStep by step, I'll fight for my sistersBetter than equal, is the aim
When I stand up for myselfFor every other woman, I standI'll motivate others to have a voiceWe'll march forward, hand in hand
My life is more than pink and purpleIt's time we push the clichés awayI'll make 'fight like a girl' a complimentAnd honor it day after day
I may fail, but I'll never give upI'll proudly flaunt every bruiseThe scars mean that I showed upLife will soon hand me its dues
I'm a girl who loves her beerI also love to laugh out loudI curse when people ask for itOf every bit of me I'm proud
They all tried to clip my wingsI mended them and learnt to soarThey can close their ears all they wantStill, they're gonna hear me roarOriginal link
