Song lyrics: 

[Intro]

When she was just a child, she would play in her room

Creating a world she could escape to, with a tiara wrapped around her head

But then she grew up.

That same little girl is now a woman, still creating her own world….with a call to adventure.

She’s Focused. Confident. She’s Successful.

If her younger self could see her now, she’d say: I knew you could. I knew you would.

[Hook]

I knew you could, I knew you would

That’s what the younger you is saying to you

I knew you could, I knew you would

She’s smiling inside ‘cause she always knew

I knew you could, I knew you would

Overcame, a whole lot but you still came through

Don’t let her down make that woman inside proud

[alt ending: don’t ever let them dim your light, keep on shining bright]

{how it started}

[Verse]

From 9-5 she works a  job

From 5-9 works on her dream

Each day she slaps her war paint on

Even then, she’s still not really seen

Works twice as hard and sets the bar

If not here, she’s still gonna make it far

She’s got plans and man she’s so inspiring

The little girl inside should be smiling “saying…”

[Hook]

In the dark of the night, and the glow of the light,

From her desk, wants to rest, eyes red but she’s alright.

Her choice is to go, take classes study more,

Reading books, reading blogs, researches, network hard.

Now she’s gaining some momentum, and she registered her business,

Next thing is go get ‘em, you may think of her as fearless.

Got tears in the corners ‘cause she’s scared to death

Didn’t have a blueprint, so she made it herself.

So many times she wanted to quit…

But she never did…

Keep glowing, Keep going

Level up level up, keep growing

One more step, one more step

Keep going, almost there.

Keep glowing, Keep going

Level up level up, kept growing

One more step, one more step

Keep going, almost there.

[verse 3]

Even when it hurt, even when they didn’t believe,

Even when they didn’t support, you still made it all to be.

Hard work is paying off, you got everything you earned,

Did the work others wouldn’t, now it’s really all your turn.

Making money, even better, you are making impact,

Living in your purpose legacy is giving back.

Now that little girl inside she is smiling full of pride,

She’s been with you this whole time, got to see it through your eyes.
