The Avatar Musical Book 1 - Fight Like a Girl (Suki, Kyoshi Warriors, Sokka)

DISCLAIMER: This is not the song by Katherine Lynn-Rose!
This song was written by Victoria Romano in 2014 and recorded in 2018. It has the same name because...well, it's a Suki song, and it's the perfect phrase for her. Great minds think alike!

-Fight Like a Girl-
Sokka underestimates the Kyoshi Warriors.

NOTE: We are not affiliated with the Tiktok ATLA Musical! Our musical was written from 2009-2018 but never released widely. With ATLA back in the cultural conversation, this seemed like the perfect time to shine a little light on this old project of ours. Plus, more ATLA musical songs can only be a good thing, right?

-Lyrics-

SUKI:
We're fit to fend an island,
Not just to fend a home.
If We're fit enough to bout,
Should you allow your eyes to roam.
To flourish you must fight,
Or face a life that's not your own,
But a haughty male will surely fail,
Should he step into our zone!

We're not your av'rage women,
Who know only charm and grace,
But graceful is our power,
And the war paint on our face.
If you're looking for a challenge,
Then you've come to the right place.
But if you can't keep up with the girls,
You best pick up the pace!

WARRIORS:
Swift as the Unagi,
Strong as any man.
Defending the place we call home,
With our emblem fan!
We're here to fight,
We are women and we're knight!
Shining like the day,
That's why I'm proud to say, "I fight like a girl!"
HA!

SOKKA:
A synchronized routine is cute,
But also kinda cheap,
I'll protect this island,
I can do it in my sleep.
Your friendship club is over,
Go home to the house you keep--

WARRIOR:
You better shut your mouth before you get yourself in DEEP!

SUKI:
I know that what you're seeing
Might seem just a simple dance,
But you may see things diff'rently,
Upon a second glace,
You'll feel it when you spread your feet,
And take a proper stance!
Precision is important, friend,
Or you won't stand a chance!

WARRIORS:
Warrior is our title,
Woman is our brand.
Our place is for us to decide,
Thusly, here we stand!
Guarding the land,
With the courage of our fan,
The Kyoshi way,
That's why I'm proud to say, "I fight like a girl!"

SUKI:
Never underrate "I fight like a girl!"

SOKKA (spoken):
I feel...Girly.
SUKI (spoken):
It’s a warrior’s uniform. You should be proud The silk thread symbolizes the brave blood that flows through our veins. The gold insignia represents the honor of a warrior's heart.

SOKKA (spoken):
Bravery and honor.

KATARA [walking by, amused]:
Nice dress, Sokka!

WARRIORS:
War knows no gender,
War knows who is strong.
I have a knack for combat,
It's where I belong.
The feeling that comes,
When I hear the battle drums,
Just rubs me the right way,
That's why I'm proud to say, "I fight like a girl!"

SUKI:
I'll never run away...
I'll fight--like a girl!
