Strong, beautiful woman
Oh so don’t let the world get you down
Look within yourself and remember who you are
Ten years old in braids and skirts
I’m flying down the hill
Down the street to Grandma’s house
I step inside her world
First she’d hold me, feed me, scold me
Patiently she’d heed my moaning
Then she’d sit me down and tell me this
You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman
And I won’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth
You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman
And I won’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who you are
Twenty-six and leading the band
The troubadour traveling show
Working in a world of men
Broken-hearted and alone
I lift my head up just long enough
To cease self-pitying and doubt
I feel her spirit with me now
You are a strong, beautiful woman
So don’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth
You are a strong, beautiful woman
So don’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember, who you are
Decades come and decades go
The thirties, forties, on it goes
Seems I’m always holding on to this
You are a strong, beautiful woman
So don’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth
You are a strong, beautiful woman
So don’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who you are
Oh so don’t let the world get you down
Look within yourself and remember who you are
Ten years old in braids and skirts
I’m flying down the hill
Down the street to Grandma’s house
I step inside her world
First she’d hold me, feed me, scold me
Patiently she’d heed my moaning
Then she’d sit me down and tell me this
You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman
And I won’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth
You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman
And I won’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who you are
Twenty-six and leading the band
The troubadour traveling show
Working in a world of men
Broken-hearted and alone
I lift my head up just long enough
To cease self-pitying and doubt
I feel her spirit with me now
You are a strong, beautiful woman
So don’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth
You are a strong, beautiful woman
So don’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember, who you are
Decades come and decades go
The thirties, forties, on it goes
Seems I’m always holding on to this
You are a strong, beautiful woman
So don’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth
You are a strong, beautiful woman
So don’t let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who you are
