Tomorrow, and all the days after, I’m gonna stand up straight and smile, because these same eyes that are not looking back at you are the same eyes that are gonna glow with the confidence of womanhood one day.
Imma fake it till I make it, momma,
And show the world that says it can't be done.
On that day, when I felt like you didn’t believe in me... it hurt me something fierce. But someday, all the eyes and the mouths and the days that stole hope from me are gonna be nothing more than a distant memory.
So here's to the day when all the things that I pretend you don't say won’t matter anymore.
