[Verse 1]
I wake up tired before the sun
Counting all the things I haven’t done
Dishes, laundry, prayers at night
Trying to hold it all just right
Mirror talks louder than my friends
Points out every place I bend
Wondering if I’m enough today
Or falling short in every way
⸻
[Chorus]
While I’m doubting every step I take
Someone sees strength I don’t see in me
I’m fighting doubts they never knew
While they’re wishing they were me too
We’re all standing on the other side
Thinking someone else has got it right
So lift your eyes, you’re doing fine
Hold your head up high
You’re the other woman in somebody’s mind
⸻
[Verse 2]
I look around at women I admire
Thinking they’ve got something I desire
Graceful moms, steady hands
Balancing life like it’s all been planned
But every smile hides a weight
Every strong heart hesitates
We’re all just trying to believe
We’re more than what we think we see
⸻
[Chorus]
While I’m doubting every step I take
Someone sees strength I don’t see in me
I’m fighting doubts they never knew
While they’re wishing they were me too
We’re all standing on the other side
Thinking someone else has got it right
So lift your eyes, you’re doing fine
Hold your head up high
You’re the other woman in somebody’s mind
⸻
[Bridge]
If we could see through kinder eyes
We’d stop believing all the lies
That say we’re failing, falling behind
Or running out of time
She’s tired too, she’s learning still
Doing more than she ever feels
And maybe that’s the truest sign
We’re stronger than our minds
⸻
[Final Chorus (Lift)]
So while you’re doubting every step you take
Someone sees strength you don’t see yet
You’re fighting doubts they’ll never know
While they’re wishing they were you though
We’re all standing on the other side
Thinking someone else has got it right
So lift your eyes, you’re doing fine
Hold your head up high
You’re the other woman in somebody’s mind
⸻
[Outro]
So hold your head up, don’t you forget
You’re stronger than you give yourself credit
