[Verse]
She learned to tiptoe before she could run
Shadows on the walls always blocked the sun
A doll in the corner with a broken face
A childhood lost in a silent space
[Prechorus]
But she built her heart from scraps and steel
Every crack taught her how to heal
[Chorus]
She’s a steel magnolia
Roots run deep
Blooming in the ashes
She found her feet
From the bruises
From the scars
She rose like a shooting star
Steel magnolia
Standing tall
[Verse 2]
Her father’s fists taught her the sound of fear
The girlfriend’s words echoed loud and clear
“You’re nothing
You’re no one
You’ll never fight back”
But she kept walking on that shattered track
[Prechorus]
Every tear was a drop of rain
Feeding the fire
Easing the pain
[Chorus]
She’s a steel magnolia
Roots run deep
Blooming in the ashes
She found her feet
From the bruises
From the scars
She rose like a shooting star
Steel magnolia
Standing tall
