The strength to beat the gossip
And the guts to beat herself
She
fought and she loved and only she knows the cost
What we hear is the voice
What we see is the smile
What we say is our love
From Delta Dawn to You Can't Run From Yourself
It's been a long hard road
A pretty little girl turned into a woman to admire
She gives us strength
She lived through the tough times
She is an inspiration
Her family gave her heart
Now she has a family to pass it to
Heart,
strength, pride, love, spunk, and voice
We remember the child
We
remember the pain
We remember the joy
Love is a strange thing
Who would believe a heart could hold so much
Where did the spirit come from to leave the bad stuff behind
And we hear
the laugh
And we feel the happiness
And we know
She comes across as tough but soft
She shows us you don't need to be
cruel to be strong
She loves her kids and she loves her fans
And she
holds her head up high
They tried to break her spirit
But it was just too strong
With a
laugh and a smile
She rose above it all
