Intro
We are still at the beginning of so much.
And yet we have already learned to make ourselves smaller than we are.
As girls, we are often told who we should be.
Today we choose differently.
Verse 1
From a young age, we hear what we are supposed to be.
Too emotional. Too sensitive. Not strong enough.
As girls, expectations are placed on us early.
Quiet. Adaptable. Unnoticeable.
But strength is not only visible.
It shows in perseverance.
In empathy.
In moving forward, even when no one applauds.
It grows when we stop comparing ourselves to each other.
Chorus
We must stand together.
Not someday, but now.
Especially we girls must not drift apart.
We have to remind each other who we are.
Our voices should connect.
Only together will we truly be heard.
Verse 2
Too often we are placed against each other.
Differences are made bigger than they are.
Appearance. Success. Popularity.
As if that is all that matters.
But we carry similar doubts.
Similar hopes.
When one of us feels unsure, we stay.
When one of us feels small, we remind her of her light.
We don’t have to be perfect.
We just have to be there for each other.
Chorus
We must stand together.
Even when it would be easier to look away.
We cannot allow anyone to divide us.
We must strengthen one another.
Our voices cannot stay alone.
Only together do we show what we are made of.
Bridge
Biology describes bodies.
It does not describe our worth.
It does not describe our impact.
It does not describe our possibilities.
What we can become is our choice.
What we achieve, we decide together.
Finale
We stand beside each other.
Not in the shadows.
Not in competition.
But in solidarity.
We do not prove ourselves through adaptation.
We prove ourselves through unity.
Through clarity.
Through voice.
And we remain heard.
