Strong

When I was just a little girl
Frightened by this great big world around me
She calmed me down
And in those teenage years when things got rough
I'd give in and I'd give up
She'd be right there for me
My mama gave me strength and told me I could do it
She's the only reason I got through it

She said be strong
When times are tough and everything goes wrong
You can cry those tears but when they're gone
You carry on
You be strong

On that winter night when I got that call
She calmly explained it all
I cried
And asked God why
Doctors said it was her last spring
She said "doctors don't know everything"
She's still here
After four hard years of fighting faithfully, so gracefully
'Til she recovered
She amazed us all, that's my mother

She's strong
When times are tough and everything went wrong
She fought through the tears but now they're gone
She carried on
She's strong

She still worries about me though
While I'll be fine when she's cold home
I say that'll hurt like hell
But my mama taught me well

So I'll be strong
When you're not here with me where you belong
Yes I'll cry those tears when you are gone
But I'll carry on
I'll be strong
The way you raised me up my whole life long
You always will be inside me like a song
And I'll miss you mom
But I'll be strong
Strong
