Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama's temper filled the house
Like a storm that never passed
No dad to call for rescue
Just a little girl learning fast
Out the door before sunrise
With a lunch pail and worn-out shoes
She learned how to make somethin'
Out of every broken use
[Pre-Chorus]
She carried more than most folks knew
Kept her head up through the pain
Every bruise became a lesson
Every tear turned into rain
[Chorus]
She stands tall, she stands proud
(stands tall, stands proud)
Three kids and a name she earned out loud
(earned out loud)
She won't bend, she won't break
(not this time)
She's the fire that her life couldn't shake
Couldn't shake
[Verse 2]
Then she loved a man all wrong
Anger lived behind his eyes
Every promise came with thunder
Every truth wore thin disguise
Now the ring's gone off her finger
And the hurt is in the past
She packed up all that poison
And she didn't look back
[Pre-Chorus]
She carried more than most folks knew
Kept her head up through the pain
Every bruise became a lesson
Every tear turned into rain
[Chorus]
She stands tall, she stands proud
(stands tall, stands proud)
Three kids and a name she earned out loud
(earned out loud)
She won't bend, she won't break
(not this time)
She's the fire that her life couldn't shake
Couldn't shake
[Bridge]
There's a porch light on her doorway
There's laughter in the halls
Little feet are running harder
Than the shadows on the walls
And when the mirror calls her lonely
She says "look at me now"
I'm not what they put on me
I'm the woman they can't bow
[Final Chorus]
She stands tall, she stands proud
(stands tall, stands proud)
Three kids and a name she earned out loud
(earned out loud)
She won't bend, she won't break
(not this time)
She's the fire that her life couldn't shake
Couldn't shake
She stands tall, she stands proud
(stands tall, stands proud)
And the whole wide world can hear it now
(can hear it now)
She's the fire that her life couldn't shake
Couldn't shake
