LYRICS
Cara
No matter what you say,
No matter what you do.
Not gonna make me live your way,
No I don’t have something to prove
Small in height
Big at heart
Things can't tear me apart
Take a walk in my shoes if you're confused
Take a step then you can start
Rosaleen
I won’t sit quietly
I will be heard and seen
no one can tell me what i can and what i cannot be
How I should look
What I should wear
what I can say
I'm not gonna be a statistic on a page
Sophie
Don't let them put you in a box and get restricted,
Just evict them from your thoughts and all those toxic ways of thinking.
Go find something else to put your mind to,
Cause powerful cailíni gonna shine through
ALL
I’m alright with who I am, are u?
I’m alright with who I am, are u?
I’m alright with who I am, are u?
Cailíni misneach, will change your attitude
ALL
There’ll never be anyone like you
You know you got it let it shine through x2
Róisín
Never let anyone tell you what you can’t do
It’s not your fault if they don’t understand you
Embrace your inner beauty
Come out your shell
Love your flaws
Love your body
Love yourself
Charmaine & Chloe
Girl I’mma raise you up, up
We gonna reach the top top
Elevate, we gon’ celebrate
Stay motivated, we’re educated
So elegant, intelligent, in my element
Tell the world about it
Love yourself, Don’t you hesitate,
Let the people see the love resonate
Rosaleen & ALL
Don’t know if you have heard
We r r run the world
Think we’re weak don’t be absurd
Expand your mind your judgement is blurred
Call it out, take a stand,
see your privilege
Do it for your sisters and mothers
And just start listening
ALL
I’m alright with who I am, are u?
I’m alright with who I am, are u?
I’m alright with who I am, are u?
Cailini misneach, will change your attitude
ALL
There’ll never be anyone like you
You know you got it let it shine through x2
