Strong Women

I'm wide awake in the midst of everything

If I feel love, I feel joy, why does it sting

Wish I could hide, hide, hide the shame

Wish I could stop, stop, stop the pain

I walk alone right into my deepest, darkest fears

I bite my lips, close my eyes, swallow my tears

Wish I could run, run, run away

But I will stay, stay, stay right here

I'm a strong woman, when I'm in love

Give me a reason, and I will toughen up

I'm a proud woman, I don't give up

Never give up, tell myself that I'm good enough

I'm a strong woman

I dig into the love and sorrows of my soul

I tell myself I am brave, and I won't lose hope

I'm walking up, up, up the slope

And I won't stand, stand, stand alone

We are strong women, when we're in love

Give us a reason, and we will toughen up

We are proud women, we don't give up

Never give up, tell ourselves that we're good enough

(All it takes is love, all it takes is love)

(We can do anything in the name of love) we are good enough

(All it takes is love, all it takes is love)

(We can do anything in the name of love)

We are strong women, when time is tough

When life pulls us down, we rise and climb all the way up

We are strong women, we don't give up
