Everyone has challenges in life. What impresses me is how people deal with things positively. I love hearing about the story of the underdog rising to the top. Through my work, I have been able to meet lots of marvellous characters. I will always remember a concert I performed where I met a lady who was in a wheelchair, and after the show, we got to talking about music.
She told me how music was so important to her. Bringing up two children on her own with no money was difficult. Whats she loved to do when she could afford it was chill out with a bottle of wine and listen to her records. We discussed how music could recall ugly memories, but more importantly, it brightened life up. Now here she was in a home, in a wheelchair and still turned to music.
Inspiration for the song started with this lady then I started looking at how many women I know that are resolute at just getting on with it.
Anything you feel could make me a better writer, just go for it

She's a woman that good fortune left behind,
Making do with everything she finds,
You decided the road, you take, in life,
Sometimes the choices you make, don't work out right,
What do you expect from a girl,
With nothing in the world,
She's a fighter,
Never giving up,
Always standing on her feet,
She's a fighter,
Always moving on,
Never accepting defeat,
She keeps a diary of her dreams and her ideas,
But never acts for far too much fear,
I can't tell you about the state she's in,
But she never complains if she doesn't win,
Tho when she opens that bottle of wine,
she gets angry sometimes,
What do you expect from a girl,
With nothing in the world,
She's a fighter,
Never giving up,
Always standing on her feet,
She's a fighter,
Always moving on,
Never accepting defeat,
It was never meant to be this way, so painful,
She closes her eyes and dreams of a day,
That everything will be the right way.
She's a fighter,
Never giving up,
Always standing on her feet,
She's a fighter,
Always moving on,
Never accepting defeat,
