Patrice

I shed my tears where nobody could see

Fighting a health battle just for me

My body was heavy, my spirit was tired

Walking alone through an invisible fire

I wore the pain, but I didn't let it show

Carried a burden that nobody’d know

Crying alone when the doors were all closed

But I kept on blooming, a concrete rose

Oh, Patrice, look at the woman you are

You pulled yourself up and you made it this far

I'm finally learning I’m more than enough

I'll never go begging a man for his love

I know my value, I know what I'm worth

I earned every blessing I get on this earth

Yeah, I made it through, I survived the night

Patrice, step into the light

Pouring out love to my sisters each day

Even when I felt like fading away

Hurting inside but I kept pushing on

Finding the strength just to greet every dawn

Nobody knew what was under the smile

Walking that lonely and difficult mile

But I didn't break under all of the weight

I took the pain and I changed my own fate

Oh, Patrice, look at the woman you are

You pulled yourself up and you made it this far

I'm finally learning I’m more than enough

I'll never go begging a man for his love

I know my value, I know what I'm worth

I earned every blessing I get on this earth

Yeah, I made it through, I survived the night

Patrice, step into the light

No more waiting for someone to see what I hold

My spirit is diamond, my resilience is gold

I fought in the shadows, I cried on my own

Now I'm the one who is building the throne

Never again will I ask them to stay

I know my worth, and I won't shrink away

Oh, Patrice, look at the woman you are

You pulled yourself up and you made it this far

I'm finally learning I’m more than enough

I'll never go begging a man for his love

I know my value, I know what I'm worth

I earned every blessing I get on this earth

Yeah, I made it through, I survived the night

Patrice, step into the light
