"Strong" Lyrics

In her bare feet
a white cotton dress
a ribbon holding back her curls
in a sweet gentle voive she sings a lullaby
to two sleepy little girls
in the nightlite glow as her babies drift off she looks so fragile she looks so soft

Chorus
she's strong
solid as a rock
like a lighthouse standing alone
she's strong
got the world on her shoulders
she keeps carrying on
she can take the heat she can take the cold winter
shes got faith
theres 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

(chorus)

sometimes when nobody else is around she gets down
and sometimes in a moment of weakness a single tear falls and thats all

she's strong

yeah 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
