[00:00.00]Strong, beautiful woman, oh don’t let the world let you down,
[00:09.40]Look within yourself and remember who you are.
[00:21.60]
[00:26.50]Ten years old in braids and skirts, I’m flying down the hill,
[00:36.64]Down the street to Grandma’s house, I step inside her world.
[00:46.12]First she’d hold me, feed me, scold me, patiently she’d heed my moaning,
[00:56.00]Then she’d sit me down and tell me this.
[01:04.47]You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman, and I won’t let the world let you down.
[01:14.51]Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth.
[01:24.26]You’ll be a strong, beautiful woman, and I won’t let the world let you down.
[01:34.09]Look within yourself and remember who you are.
[01:49.02]
[01:51.51]I’m twenty-six and leading the band, the troubadour traveling show.
[02:00.94]Working in a world of men, broken-hearted and alone.
[02:10.30]I lift my head up just long enough to cease self-pitying and doubt,
[02:20.26]I feel her spirit with me now.
[02:28.50]You are a strong, beautiful woman, don’t let the world let you down.
[02:38.97]Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth.
[02:48.49]You are a strong, beautiful woman, I won’t let the world let you down.
[02:58.48]Look within yourself and remember, who you are.
