Strong, beautiful woman
Oh, 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'd 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
Mm, I won't let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who you are
I'm 26 and leading the band, the troubadour travelling 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
Mm, don't let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth
You are a strong, beautiful woman
Oh, I won't let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember, who you are
Decades come and decades go
The 30s, 40s, on it goes
Seems I'm always holding on to this
You are a strong, beautiful woman
Oh, don't let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who carried you forth
You are a strong, beautiful woman
Oh, so don't let the world let you down
Look within yourself and remember who you are
