Girl Pow-R, the all-girl Canadian pop-rock band consisting of six talented young musicians use their music to inspire and empower girls across the world. One of their recent releases “Galaxy” is an anthem that encourages girls to pursue their dreams and reach for the stars no matter the challenges they may encounter.
The song begins with a catchy, upbeat melody that sets the tone for the inspiring message to come. The lyrics speak to the struggles young girls often face when pursuing their passions, including self-doubt and societal pressure to conform to traditional gender roles. The chorus is particularly uplifting, with lyrics that encourage girls to reach for the stars and overcome obstacles:
“Fly, fly, high up in the sky
You can go, go, higher than you know
And if you try, try, you’ll see that you’ll find
The universe is waiting for you to shine”
The theme of overcoming obstacles is central to “Galaxy,” and it is one that resonates with many girls around the world. Whether it is discrimination, lack of resources, or self-doubt, girls often face significant barriers to pursuing their dreams. However, Girl Pow-R’s message is one of hope and determination. The band members themselves have faced their own obstacles and are using their experiences to inspire others through their music.
The underlying message of the song is closely aligned with the values of the ME to WE charity, which focuses on empowering young people to make a positive impact on their communities and the world. The charity offers a variety of programs and initiatives aimed at promoting social justice while helping young people develop leadership skills and build self-confidence in youth to help overcome obstacles they come across.
ME to WE’s programs focus on issues such as education, health, and economic development while working with communities around the world to create sustainable change. One of their core values is that they believe everyone has the potential to make a difference no matter how small regardless of age, gender, or background. This value is also reflected in “Galaxy”, which encourages girls to pursue their dreams and overcome obstacles no matter what issues they may face.
In addition to their goal of empowering youth, the ME to WE charity also strives to make an impact on global development and social justice. Their charity collaborates with communities in countries including Kenya, India and Ecuador providing individuals with access to education, clean water, and additional necessities. Their active involvement in social justice is based on their belief that every person deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life regardless of their background or circumstances. They aim to help these communities overcome obstacles they may encounter while pursuing their passions.
This belief once again, aligns with the overall message “Galaxy” is hoping to convey to young girls. To reach for the stars, work hard to get what they deserve, and overcome obstacles by perceiving them as learning experiences there to make them stronger. This song is a great reminder to everyone that with perseverance, anything is possible and anyone is capable of making a difference.
