There was a time when it couldn't be done
They wouldn't let us join the fun; we needed someone to get us going
But they, all-knowing, said no way could it be a girl

It was all about not being left out
There was no doubt a girl had to shout a little louder, stand a little prouder
Just to make a mark in the world

Door was closed, who came through
You know it was a girl
Who made all our dreams come true
Girl

On the ground, turn around, what's that sound (Girl Power)
No doubt about it, we kick it out, we're girls (Girl)
Lean, mean, clean, like a dream machine (Girl Power)
Title 9 put us over the line, there's no denying (Girl Power)

We said we're gonna stay, not miss one day till we got to play, hey
We knew we had the stuff, better than good enough
We didn't give up until we had won the game
Heart and soul, we gave it all for the goal, now we got there
You won't see us not there - we didn't stop, didn't drop
Y'better believe the top will never, ever be the same

Who brought us to where we are
You know it was a girl
Who reached up and raised the bar
Girl

On the ground, turn around, what's that sound (Girl Power)
No doubt about it, we kick it out, we're girls (Girl)
Lean, mean, clean, like a dream machine (Girl Power)
Title 9 put us over the line, there's no denying (Girl Power)

Reach for a star, no matter how far
Girl, you're just as strong as you think you are
If you're all you got, then you're all you need
Whatever you do, you'll succeed at lightning speed
Girl Power
Girl Power
Girl Power - got to have Girl, got to have Girl Power
Girl Power - got to have Girl, got to have Girl Power
