They told us no one can win this war
So
We won the battle that no one could win
And we showed them we were fighters

They told us nobody could ever love the unlovable
So
We cared for the uncared for
And we loved the ones no one else would love

They told us we would never look good enough
So
We acted beautiful
And we felt beautiful
We would never look good enough
But we would always act better

They told us we would never be smart enough
So
We studied hard we did our best
And we were smarter than enough

They told us the scared could never be brave
So
We looked our fear in the eye and we met it face to face and we were scared but we would not run

They told us we would never be enough and that we could never do what we were born to do
They told us and they were wrong
