Phyllis Hyman - Strength Of A Woman lyrics

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah My heart has been so broken Holding everyone so close Counting on them being there When I needed them the most There comes a time when you realize That the only pair of arms That will never let you go are your own I'm not afraid to be alone CHORUS Because the strength of a woman Comes from inside her The light of her soul Is to bright to hide her Strength of a woman So few understand That it doesn't depend on the man I'm learning day by day now How much power lives in me No more hanging on Cinderella fantasies I place my life all the good and bad With the courage to move on to whatever lies ahead Come what may I'll hear the voice inside me say CHORUS That the strength of a woman Comes from inside her The light of her soul Is to bright to hide her The strength of a woman So few understand That it doesn't depend on the man My intuition has brought me this far I don't need to wish on each falling star I trust I've got all I need in myself I don't have to look for it in anyone else CHORUS Because the strength of a woman Comes from inside her The light of her soul Is to bright to hide her Strength of a woman So few understand That it doesn't depend on the man That it doesn't depend on the man (scatting) Strength of a woman Oh, oh I stand alone I'm on my own I am free to be me The strength of a woman Oh, oh The strength of a woman The strength of a woman The strength of a woman
