You see two pink little lines, and everything changes
Nineteen and scared, with a baby on the way
Everyone whispers, “she threw her life away”
But they don’t know the fire in her veins
She worked 3 jobs, so many sleepless nights
Missed partying with her friends, but it was all worth the fight
She had to grow up fast, but she never broke
Took the weight of the world and wore it like a cloak
They said she’d fall, said that she’d run
But she stood tall for her little one
From all the ashes, she made a spark
Now she’s out here lighting up the dark
They thought that it would break her, nah, it made her strong
Who would have known she was a warrior all along
She’s the queen of getting by
She never needed help from any guy
But Lilly’s smile made her complete
A super mom without time for defeat
She kissed goodbye her old life
Held Lilly close with all her might
A different path, a brighter flame
If she could do it again, she’d keep it all the same
She grew up fast, but she never broke
Took the weight of the world and wore it like a cloak
They said she’d fall, said that she’d run
But she stood tall, she knew her fight wasn’t done
From all the ashes, she made a spark
Now she’s out here lighting up the dark
They thought it’d break her, nah, it made her strong
Who would have known she was a warrior all along
Now every step she takes
She has to watch the choices that she makes
She looks at her little baby
Thinks to herself, man this is crazy
She grew up fast, but she never broke
She’s living proof of strength and hope
They said that she’d fall, that this would end it all
But instead she stood tall, now her babies learning to crawl
From all the ashes, she made a spark
Now she’s out here lighting up the dark
They thought that it would break her, nah, it made her strong
Who would have known she was a warrior all along
She had to grow up fast, luckily she was raised right
Now she’s dances with Lilly under the bright moonlight
