We can make a difference, we can make a change
I know it’s hard girl, ‘cause I feel your pain
Look into my eyes, I know you wanna cry
Just lift your head up high, and baby you can fly
You ain’t gotta cry, just open your eyes
‘Cause this world is full of whos, whats, whens and whys
Everyday life is like a sudden surprise
and your three babies’ fathers always telling you lies
Your best friend’s son and your daughter favor
Now you stripping, use’ta be about the Lord and Savior
Look at your neighbors — they even respect you more
For a dollar, you got all the brothers calling you “whore”
But I see something, a scared sister at birth
Who really wants to change, for all it’s worth
You can count on me — take my hand, let’s pray
The only man you depending on is God today
Don’t cry, lift your head up high
All you gotta do is believe and you can fly
I know he said that he always care
Looked you in your eyes and said he’d always there
Then he left you sister, just like the others
Who’s the blame for this pain? Was it a punch from a brother?
I know you cold, here take this cover
Wipe the tears from your eyes ‘cause there’s no need to suffer
You gotta stay strong ‘cause a change gonna come
You a queen, what that means is you’re number one
Always remember to remind yourself
Iif you reach deep within, you can find yourself
Don’t cry, just lift your head up high
Look into my eyes and baby you can fly
Lift up your hand, sister, reach for a star
And if you open your mind, you can reach for tomorra’
Just remember, don’t be scared to fail
Take the good with the bad, go ahead, exhale
No more watin’ — just follow the light
Never give up on your dreams and always follow what’s right
It’s a feeling that you can’t deny
‘Cause it comes from the heart — go ahead, just try.
We can make a difference, we can make a change
I know it’s hard girl, ‘cause I feel your pain
Look into my eyes, I know you wanna cry
Just lift your head up high, and baby you can fly
