Girls Can Surf
There's a girl Bangladesh way
She sure can ride the waves
But the man says she can't ride
Jumped up and asked him "Why?"
And I said to him
Girls can surf
Someone ever smash your dreams?
​Then you know how she feels
Stand-up say "no" to the man
Leave his hatred on the sand
And stand-up and say
Girls can surf
​There's a girl Bangladesh way
She sure can ride the waves
But the man says she can't ride
Jumped up and asked him "Why?"
And I said to him
Girls can surf

​This song was inspired by a news story about girls in Bangladesh who love to surf. The local men have discouraged the girls from surfing simply because they don't think girls should surf. Girls must have the freedom to follow their dreams, and they should know they can do anything, especially surf. You can read their story on National Geographic. Check out photojournalist Allison Joyce's excellent photographs. This song is dedicated to the surfing girls of Bangladesh. I hope they like the song and keep surfing.
