[Verse 1]
She wakes before the morning light
Another day, another fight
Books in one hand, work in the other
Dreams on hold for a little while longer
She left her home, her mother’s smile
Crossed oceans just to survive
Now she’s in a world that feels so cold
But she keeps going — heart of gold
[Chorus]
Rose Mary Mawi, you’re stronger than you know
Even when the teardrops flow
Carrying the weight of two lives
One in your hands, one left behind
You keep the light on through the storm
Even when you’re feeling worn
You’re not alone, and I hope you know
You’re stronger than you know
[Verse 2]
Every night, she misses home
Quiet cries when she’s alone
Pictures of her family in her phone
But still she stands, still she grows
She’s cooking meals, she’s making plans
Cleaning rooms with tired hands
No one sees the pain she hides
But I see the fire in her eyes
[Chorus]
Rose Mary Mawi, you’re stronger than you know
Even when the teardrops flow
Carrying the weight of two lives
One in your hands, one left behind
You keep the light on through the storm
Even when you’re feeling worn
You’re not alone, and I hope you know
You’re stronger than you know
[Bridge]
And I know it’s hard to breathe sometimes
When the world won’t stop and your soul’s not fine
But I’ll be here through every mile
To hold you up and see you smile
You’ll never walk this road alone
You’ve got my heart — you’ve got my home
[Chorus]
Rose Mary Mawi, you’re stronger than you know
Even when your heart feels low
You’re chasing dreams in a foreign land
Still holding tight with your tired hands
You hold your ground, you make it through
There’s nothing in this world like you
On May 4, a star was born to glow
And I’ll be by your side — through all the highs and lows
[Outro]
So when the night feels dark and long
Just remember, you’ve been strong all along
No matter what this life may send
I’ll be right here for you — until the end
