If you've been to Kim's blog, you know that she and the family
have songs streaming on it. One of the songs that came to define Kim's fight
was Bomshel's "Fight Like a Girl." This song is unreal, and will make
you cry - just a warning. Tonight, this group gave a free concert and I took
the kids. I wasn't able to do the meet and greet afterwards, which I
desperately wanted to do, but I got to see them perform this song. It. Was.
AMAZING. They are super talented, amazing singers, unreal musicians, and were
very REAL. They kept smiling at Julia and eaved to her, blew kisses, that sort
of thing. Yes, we were thatclose.
They sang this song, and it was just, well, breathtaking. I was able to catch the one lady's eye after the song, and thank her. There is a back story to the song - apparently a girl in the one lady's hometown came down with cancer, and didn't make it to hear the song sang live. So sad.
This was just such a treat to see them, and to hear them perform this single. Just amazing. I am hoping to purchase this CD soon.
Here are the words to the song, in case you can't access the link above....enjoy, and smile through those tears......

BOMSHEL - FIGHT LIKE A GIRL
LYRICS
Little girl alone on the playground
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around
Wishin' she was invisible
To them
She ran home cryin'
"Why do they hate me?"
And Mama wiped the tears and said
"Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful.
So, hold your head high.
Don't ever let 'em define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give them Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl."
At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'
Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'
She was never gonna one of the boys, no
She coulda gave up on her ambition
And spent the rest of her life just wishin'
Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin'
"Hold your head high.
Don't ever let 'em define
The light in your eyes.
Love yourself, give them Hell.
You can take on this world.
You just stand and be strong
And then fight
Like a girl."
Oh, with style and grace
Kick ass and take names
Ten years of climbin' that ladder
Oh, but money and power don't matter
When the doctor said "The cancer spread"
She holds on tight to her husband and babies
And says "This is just another test God gave me.
And I know just how to handle this."
I'll hold my head high
I'll never let this define
The light in my eyes
Love myself, give it Hell
I'll take on this world
If I stand and be strong
No, I'll never give up
I will conquer with love
And I'll fight like
Like a girl
