Girl in your eyes
I can see a child waiting for a sign that the slipper fits
Maybe one day you will find
Your name in lights all up the strip
Tell your story in a rhyme
Baby, in time it'll be a hit
And if the haters kill your vibe
Just smile and blow a kiss
'Cause history has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you
Sister, I can see you're tired
Of waiting for a sign, well, this is it
Living in these changing times
Let's redesign how we coexist
They can't shame you if you fight
So join the line girl and resist
Always listen to both sides
Take pride and keep those fires lit
Be who you needed, be who you needed
Be who you needed when you were younger
Be who you needed, be who you needed
Be who you needed when you were younger
Be who you needed, be who you needed
Be who you needed when you were younger
Be who you needed, be who you needed
Be who you needed when you were younger
Mother, I can see in your eyes
Waiting your whole life, well, this is it
And when your miracle arrives
You'll realise why we exist
Teach your daughters how to climb
And show your sons how to commit
To chase those shivers down their spines
Be kind and never quit
'Cause history has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you, yeah you
History has its eyes on you
History has its eyes on you, yeah you, yeah you
Be who you needed, be who you needed
Be who you needed when you were younger
Be who you needed, be who you needed
Be who you needed when you were younger
Be who you needed, be who you needed
Be who you needed when you were younger
Be who you needed, be who you needed
Be who you needed when you were younger
