Girls – English Lyrics

• By: Rachel Platten

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hope you always know your worth Though I know that life can hurt

Hope you know that you can turn to each other Hope you learn to trust your voice

Make mistakes and make some noise Hope you never lose your joy or your hunger

Girls you were born to run To reach the stars and chase the sun

Girls you are wild and free The wind is at your back, the world is at your feet

Sometimes life can feel unfair Broken hearts you can’t repair

Sometimes you might be scared that no one gets you It’s not easy being brave when tears are falling down your face

But that’s how you’ll find your strength, so I’ll let you

Girls you were born to run To reach the stars and chase the sun

Girls you are wild and free The wind is at your back, the world is at your feet

Someday friends might turn their backs Falling leaves might hide your path

You’ll try hard might come in last Yeah but just around the corner

You’ll move mountains you’ll make waves You’ll be fearless, you’ll be brave

There’ll be nothing you can’t face

Hope you always know your worth though I know that life can hurt Hope you know that you can turn to each other

Hope the road ahead is clear And I hope you know when I’m not here

That you’ll always have the love Of your mother
