This is one of three songs on the disc that I originally wrote for my lady. It's a heavier low-Db number about one of the greatest attributes that a person can possess. This song was recorded about the mid-point of the sessions, but was placed first on the track listing to properly establish a heavier rock tone to the disc. Who says you can't ROCK on an acoustic? Uh...no one I hope!
lyrics
STRENGTH
She fights my battles
She hides my crimes
She give good lovin' any day or any night
She licks my wounds
And cleans the knife
I turn around to find
She's always smiling
She gives me shelter from all my rain
Her strength
Can move the Heavens
Her faith
Can take me higher
She never ceases to amaze me with her
Strength
She'd stop a bullet
To save my skin
She'd march through Hell or high water then back again
She'd take the punches
Right on the chin
She's got my back
Through thick and thin
And she's no stranger to all my pain
Her strength
Can shake the Heavens
Her faith
Can take me higher
She never ceases to amaze me with her
Strength
She's like a soldier
Right by my side
Through all our land mines
We have survived
She's earned my honor
Up for the task
'Cause she was built to last
Her strength
Can move the Heavens
Her faith
Can take me higher
She never ceases to amaze me with her
Strength
