Lyrics

Verse
Sometimes a woman gives so completely
She forgets to hold a piece back in reserve
So touched by the calling of the other
She doesn’t hear her own voice saying “its too much”
Sometimes a heart is bound so deeply
It just carries on bold and proud
Sometimes a light can burn so brightly
No one notices it’s burning out

Chorus 1
Woman of strength
Woman of soul
What are you carrying beneath that smile
Lay down your burdens
Come into my arms
And rest a while
Daughter of faithfulness
Mother of love
Please don’t forget your duty to yourself
Sweet child of tenderness
Wise elder of truth
Hear me I pray
Don’t turn away

Bridge
Sometimes you have to hold your head high
And know that you are worthy and complete
Pleasing others is a fools game
If pleasing means you silence your own needs

Chorus 2
Woman of strength
Woman of soul
Know its ok to take time for yourself
Time to remember
Time to heal
Time to pray
I honour your strength
I honour your soul
I honour your sacrifice, you’ve given it your all
I honour your weariness
I honour your tears
I honour you

Let go and let through
Let love carry you
Rest and renew
