Lisa

I’ve walked through the shadows, I’ve carried the weight

Left my heart open when others would hate

I’ve given my all just to watch it fall apart

Lord knows I’ve felt the ache of a broken heart

But I keep on giving, I keep my spirit kind

Leaving all that bitterness and anger behind

I take folks in, I accept them as they are

Even when the healing leaves another little scar

Oh, you can't keep me down, no matter what you do

I'm gonna wake up and let my light shine through

My kids are my world, they're my reason to fight

They are my morning sun, they are my guiding light

I know I'm a good woman, I know who I am

You can try to break Lisa, but I'll always stand

People love to whisper, they love to talk

Try to throw stones at the path that I walk

They try to put me down just to build themselves up

But they can never drain the sweet love from my cup

I’ve been tested by the rumors and the lies

But I just wipe the tears right out of my eyes

Always thinking of others, even when I bleed

I plant a little kindness and I water the seed

Oh, you can't keep me down, no matter what you do

I'm gonna wake up and let my light shine through

My kids are my world, they're my reason to fight

They are my morning sun, they are my guiding light

I know I'm a good woman, I know who I am

You can try to break Lisa, but I'll always stand

Every single tear I cried watered the ground

Now look at the beautiful strength that I've found

I live for my babies, I give 'em my best

I keep my head high and I handle the test

I’m proud of my soul, I’m proud of my name

I’m walking through the fire and taming the flame

No, you can't keep me down, no matter what you do

I'm gonna wake up and let my light shine through

My kids are my world, they're my reason to fight

They are my morning sun, they are my guiding light

I know I'm a good woman, I know who I am

You can try to break Lisa, but I'll always stand

Yeah, I've got a good heart, and I'll always stand
