Here's to the girls with buzz cuts and the boys with flowing locks
Here's to the girls who don't shave their legs and the boys whose legs are smooth
Here's to the girls who play football and the boys who are on the cheerleading team
Here's to the girls who don't wear makeup and the boys who wear eyeliner

Here's to those who rebel against society's expectations and aren't afraid to be themselves

Here's to some of the most beautiful people on Earth
