[00:00.00]Strong, beautiful woman, oh so don’t let the world let you down,
[00:09.81]Look within yourself and remember who you are.
[00:22.29]
[00:27.08]Ten years old in braids and skirts, I’m flying down the hill,
[00:36.48]Down the street to Grandma’s house, I step inside her world.
[00:46.03]First she’d hold me, feed me, scold me, patiently she’d heed my moaning,
[00:56.20]Then she’d sit me down and tell me this.
[01:04.49]You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman, and I won’t let the world let you down.
[01:14.78]Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth.
[01:24.33]You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman, and I won’t let the world let you down.
[01:34.32]Look within yourself and remember who you are.
[01:49.52]
[01:51.78]I’m twenty-six and leading the band, the troubadour traveling show.
[02:01.13]Working in a world of men, broken-hearted and alone.
[02:10.64]I lift my head up just long enough to cease self-pitying and doubt,
[02:20.35]I feel her spirit with me now.
[02:28.75]You are a strong, beautiful woman, so don’t let the world let you down.
[02:39.12]Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth.
[02:48.59]You are a strong, beautiful woman, I won’t let the world let you down.
[02:58.31]Look within yourself and remember, who you are.
[03:14.95]
[03:25.23]Decades come and decades go, the thirties, forties, on it goes,
[03:35.07]Seems I’m always holding on to this.
[03:43.58]You are a strong, beautiful woman, so don’t let the world let you down.
[03:53.59]Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth.
[04:03.12]You are a strong, beautiful woman, so don’t let the world let you down.
[04:12.65]Look within yourself and remember who you are.
