Strong

In her bare feet, a white cotton dress
A ribbon holding back her curls
In a sweet gentle voice, she sings a lullaby
To two sleepy little girls

In the nightlight glow as her babies drift off
She looks so fragile, looks so, so

She's strong, solid as a rock
Like a lighthouse standing alone
Yeah, she's strong, got the world on her shoulders
She keeps carrying on

She can take the heat, she can take the cold winter
She's got faith, there's no quit in her
She's strong
Yeah, so strong

There's a crayon picture says, 'We love you mom'
She keeps it in a frame on her desk
There's a friend of a friend who calls now and then
But she's not ready just yet

She might get lonely in the still of the night
But she'll hold out till she knows it's right

She's strong, solid as a rock
Like a lighthouse standing alone
Yeah, she's strong, got the world on her shoulders
She keeps carrying on

She can take the heat, she can take the cold winter
She's got faith, there's no quit in her
She's strong

And sometimes when nobody else is around
She gets down
And sometimes in a moment of weakness
A single tear falls and that's all

She's strong
She's strong

She can take the heat, she can take the cold winter
She's got faith, there's no quit in her
She's strong
Yeah, so strong
She's strong
Yeah, so strong
