lyrics

Feels like life has dealt you a losing card
When the life you’re given is all wrong
Feels like no one sees who you really are
No one lets you sing your own song

They’ll say you’ll always stay
The way they raised you since you were born
But fuck them, they don’t define you
So take their outdated standards and leave them behind you

Come on gal, don’t be shy
Now’s your time to shine, shine bright
Take a breath, say it loud
You’re gonna sing your song and sing it proud
Wear the pink white and blue
You’re gonna rock that look
You’re gonna show the world the gal you’re meant to be
New sisters

Now you’ve found you’re not who they thought you were
There’s a better you and she’s coming soon
Now you’ve got to hold on a little more
’Til you burst away from from that cocoon

They’ll say it’s just a phase
They’ll make excuses to hold you back
But fuck them, they can’t control you
So take their cliched assumptions and leave them behind you

Come on gal, don’t be shy
Now’s your time to shine, shine bright
Take a breath, say it loud
You’re gonna sing your song and sing it proud
Wear the pink white and blue
You’re gonna rock that look
You’re gonna show the world the gal you’re meant to be
New sisters

It’s not over yet
We cannot forget
The ones we lost on this dangerous path

If you’re not safe
Try to escape
And may you rest easy, sleep, eat, and pass

All this and more
All this and less
That’s all I want for those girls

They’ll say you’re not a real one
They want their hatred to push you down
But fuck them, they stand below you
So take their spite fear and anger and leave them behind you

You’re a new sister
You’re no phoney gal
You are beautiful
You’re no freak or foe
You are here to fight
You’re not here to die
You're gonna take a stand and show them who you are
