To the little girls with Hess trucks
The ones who though that Power Ranger were cool and Pokemon were too
The ones who never really grew out of wearing bagging jeans and t-shirts
This is for you.
We live in a world where bad news is plastered across the big screen
And good news is just a small strip across it
Don't let this society shape you
Because we live in a world of messed up morals told by those with crooked smiles
Who haven't dared to walk a mile in your shoes.
Be who you choose to.
To the girls who rather build houses than be confined and defined by one
This is for you
Don't listen to the outdated values and advice of you grandmothers
This isn't 1952
This isn't Leave it to Beaver
You aren't Mrs. Cleaver
You don't belong in the kitchen
To the girls who rather lace up a pair of Nike uptowns
Than shop downtown for a pair of pumps
This is for you
Face it, society will judge you for whatever you do
Wear what you want, be brave, go bold
To the girls who can namee every major league sports team complete with stats of their favorite player
This is for you
Just because you think differently,
Just means that you will succeed differently
All you have to do is be prepared mentally
To the little girls with Hess trucks
The ones who thought that Power Rangers were cool and Pokemon were too
The one who never really grew out of wearing baggy jeans and T-shirts.
