Verse 1
There’s a girl in every hometown, every school, every street,
Trying to find her own voice while standing in somebody else’s reach.
They say, “You’re just her little sister,” like that’s all she’ll ever be,
Never seeing all the strength behind the smile that they see.
Pre-Chorus
She keeps her head held high,
Though she’s been overlooked a thousand times.
Chorus
We’re more than the shadows cast by somebody else’s light,
More than the girls standing just outside the spotlight.
We’ve got our own scars, our own roads, our own dreams to chase,
We weren’t born to walk behind—we were born to make our place.
So look us in the eyes and you’ll finally see,
We’re not just somebody’s little sisters… we’re meant to be free.
Verse 2
Some carry straight-A report cards, some carry calloused hands,
Some are raising little babies, some are chasing bigger plans.
Always hearing comparisons, always measured side by side,
While fighting battles nobody sees and keeping hope alive.
Pre-Chorus
But there’s a fire in our hearts,
And it’s been there from the start.
Chorus
We’re more than the shadows cast by somebody else’s light,
More than the girls standing just outside the spotlight.
We’ve got our own scars, our own roads, our own dreams to chase,
We weren’t born to walk behind—we were born to make our place.
So look us in the eyes and you’ll finally see,
We’re not just somebody’s little sisters… we’re meant to be free.
Bridge
Maybe we’ll stumble, maybe we’ll fall,
Maybe we’ll surprise them all.
Every step we take is ours,
Every dream belongs to our hearts.
Rap Verse
To every girl who ever felt second in line,
Like her name only mattered when attached to another’s shine.
Keep your head up, keep pushing through the doubt,
The world’s gonna hear the voice they once counted out.
Your story’s got value, your journey’s your own,
You don’t need another person’s light to be known.
The strength that you carry was there all along,
And one day they’ll see you’ve been powerful and strong.
So stand a little taller, let your true colors show,
You’re more than a shadow—and it’s finally time to know.
Final Chorus
We’re more than the shadows cast by somebody else’s light,
More than the girls standing just outside the spotlight.
We’ve got our own voices, our own reasons to believe,
And we won’t spend another moment being who they need.
So remember our names when the whole world sees,
We’re not just somebody’s little sisters…
No, we’re not just somebody’s little sisters…
Outro
We’re dreamers, we’re fighters, we’re stronger than we know,
And every girl who’s lived in a shadow deserves her chance to grow.
So here’s to finding your voice, here’s to setting yourself free,
Because you’re more than a shadow…
You’re exactly who you’re meant to be.
