Let her be confident
Let her be brave
Let her know beauty
Is more than her face

Let her be strong
Let her know her own mind
And for the most part
Let life be too kind

But when it’s not -
When the days feel tough
Let her know she’s
Bolstered fiercely by love

Let her keep dreaming
Awake or asleep
Let her know feelings
Do not make her weak

So let her be gentle
Compassionate too
But let her be bold
In her quest for the truth

Let the world listen
Whenever she speaks
Let her move mountains
And dance at their peaks

Let her catch galaxies,
Comets and stars
Let her ride moonbeams
Like rockets to Mars

No matter her stature
Let her stand tall
And most important
And vital of all

Let her be happy
And know her own worth
Know that sometimes
She must put herself first

And let her be proud,
Be determined and free
To be anything
That she chooses to be
