Intro
Verse 1
Michigan Girl With A California Sun
Twenty-Five Years And Her Life Just Begun
One Phone Call And The World Got Still
But She Stood Right Up With A Stronger Will
Long Blonde Hair Fallin' Down Her Back
She Said, "I Ain't Ready... To Lose All That"
Bought A Couple Wigs, Tried To Play It Cool
But She Just Laughed, Said, "These Ain't Me At All"
Verse 2
Chemo Days And The Nights Ran Long
But She Kept On Workin', Kept Stayin' Strong
Didn't Miss Much Time, Didn't Let It Win
Just A Quiet Fight She Was Fightin' Within
Went To A Show With Her Mom One Night
Tried That Wig On Just To Feel Alright
But When That Song Came On, She Took Control
Shook It Off... Let The Whole World Know
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, She Had Her Moments... We All Do
But She Never Said, "Why Me"... Not Once, Not You
Chorus
I Won't Back Down... I'm Still Right Here
You Don't Get To Take These Years
Tried To Steal My Fire, Tried To Take My Light
But I'm Still Standin' Here... Ready To Fight
Yeah, You Picked The Wrong One... Yeah, That's The Truth
Stronger Than Fear, Stronger Than Youth
Eleven Years Later... I'm Still Holdin' On
Post-Chorus
Yeah, I Said "Fuck That"... I Wo-O-On
Verse 3
They Called Her Cookie... Yeah, You Know Why
Sweet On The Surface But Fire Inside
#Cookiestrong Through The Darkest Days
With A Smile That Never Really Faded Away
Twenty-Five Interrupted... Yeah, That's A Fact
But She Built Herself Even Stronger Back
Came Out The Other Side More Than Okay
Yeah, She Became Who She Is Today
Pre-Chorus
Now Every Year When This Day Rolls 'Round
It Ain't About Fear, It's About Standin' Proud
Every Scar, Every Mile She Fought
Is A Life She's Livin' That Cancer's Not
Chorus
I Won't Back Down... I'm Still Right Here
You Don't Get To Take These Years
Tried To Steal My Fire, Tried To Take My Light
But I'm Still Standin' Here... Ready To Fight
Yeah, You Picked The Wrong One... Yeah, That's The Truth
Stronger Than Fear, Stronger Than Youth
Eleven Years Later... I'm Still Holdin' On
Bridge
Yeah, I Said "Fuck That"...
I Wooooon
Twenty-Five... Interrupted
But Damn... Look What She Became
Verse 4
They Never Rang That Bell For You
When You Beat It On Your Own
No Crowd Standin' There To Cheer
Just Strength Nobody Knows
But Every Scar, Every Mile You Fought
Says Louder Than Any Sound
You Didn't Need That Bell Back Then
But You Deserve To Hear It Now
