They say she cannot fight, she’s a woman
Because women aren’t meant to be strong
Yet she fights like a tiger, and always has
Meant to be a fighter all along.
They said nobody would ever love her
She wasn’t ever meant for that kind of song
Today is finally her chance
To prove all of them wrong.
They said she was nothing but a waste of time
A moment where protection failed
A singular obstruction in the lives of fools
Yet in their little world they are hailed.
They said nobody would read her words
They would fall to the Earth unread.
That nobody would want to read the careless dribble
Of a woman they all wished were dead.
Yet hundreds have done what they said would not
And many leave an applause
She stands for the many without a voice
She stands for a worthy cause.
They thought she would care what they said
But her ears were closed to the lies.
Words of hate, when carelessly delivered
Are like the shit that only attracts flies.
