For Her
The Chicks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A natural mother since the day that I fell
Not a martyr
I'm just someone who cares
So dig a little bit deeper
And be a little bit kinder
And a lot less guarded
It takes a lotta hard work
To get a whole lot stronger
'Cause it's real tough, girl
Why can't we be together?
Why can't we love for her?
Wish I could go back and tell my younger self
"You're a fighter, you just don't know it yet"
So dig a little bit deeper
And be whole lot louder
And a lot less guarded
'Cause it takes, it takes
It takes a lotta hard work
To get a whole lot stronger
'Cause it's real tough, girl
Why can't we be together?
Why can't we love for her?
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
Stand up, show up
For her, for her
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
Stand up, show up
For her, for her
Why can't we be together?
Why can't we love for her?
So dig a little bit deeper
And be a whole lot kinder
And a lot less guarded
'Cause it takes, it takes
It takes a lotta hard work
To get a whole lot stronger
'Cause it's real tough, girl
Stand up, show love
Stand up, show up
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
Stand up, show love
For her, for her
Oh, stand up
Oh, stand up for her

You know you’re a legend when 10 years goes by and you can still make dope music.

You are three of the most courageous women I've ever known. The bull***t you've had to put up with shines the brightest spotlight on this mysogonist society of ours. When women (and any other minority) have a loud contrary voice it so upsets those "in charge". I'm so unbelievably impressed by your courage to ride the ride, go through all of the learning and lessons that you've gone through and you keep on talking. You rock!!!
