[Verse 1]
Red hair up in the morning
Flame on a tired face
Coffee gone cold on the counter
Still she moves with grace
Packing lunch for the babies
Finding socks in the drawer
She don’t ask for the spotlight
She just keeps loving more
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know her shoulders bend
Under every little need
She’s holding up a house
Like it’s easy to breathe
[Chorus]
Copper crown, keep shining
Copper crown, keep shining
Beautiful when you’re trying
Beautiful when you’re trying
God sees the tears you’re hiding
God sees the tears you’re hiding
Copper crown, keep shining
Copper crown, keep shining
[Verse 2]
She reads the note from the teacher
Then she smiles through the sting
Fixes up a broken zipper
Makes a whole day sing
There’s a sad spot in her silence
When the kitchen goes still
But she folds that pain in her apron
And serves love with skill
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know her heart gets heavy
When the house is running fast
She gives away her whole day
And still says, “I’m fine” when asked
[Chorus]
Copper crown, keep shining
Copper crown, keep shining
Beautiful when you’re trying
Beautiful when you’re trying
God sees the tears you’re hiding
God sees the tears you’re hiding
Copper crown, keep shining
Copper crown, keep shining
[Bridge]
Let somebody carry you now
Let the table wait a while
You’ve been a river for this family
Now let Heaven hold you for a mile
You don’t have to earn that blessing
You don’t have to prove your worth
You were made to be loved, mama
From the first breath on this earth
[Final Chorus]
Copper crown, keep shining
Copper crown, keep shining
Beautiful when you’re trying
Beautiful when you’re trying
God sees the tears you’re hiding
God sees the tears you’re hiding
Copper crown, keep shining
Copper crown, keep shining
[Outro]
Rest in His hands tonight
Rest in His hands tonight
You carried us so long
Now let Him carry you right
