Matilda
(Verse 1)
In a world that feels so vast and wide
There's a girl named Matilda with dreams inside
With courage in her heart and wisdom in her eyes
She’ll rise above the noise and touch the skies

(Chorus)
Oh Matilda
You’re a shining light
With every story told you ignite the night
In a world that tries to hold you down
You’ll find your strength and wear your crown

(Verse 2)
Through the trials she’ll never lose her way
With every challenge faced she learns to sway
Books are the wings lifting her high
In her own fairytale where she’s destined to fly

(Chorus)
Oh Matilda
You’re a shining light
With every story told you ignite the night
In a world that tries to hold you down
You’ll find your strength and wear your crown
(Bridge)
When shadows fall just look within
You’ve got the power
Let the journey begin
With friends beside you
You’ll stand so tall
Matilda you can conquer it all!

(Chorus)
Oh Matilda
You’re a shining light
With every story told you ignite the night
In a world that tries to hold you down
You’ll find your strength and wear your crown
