Strong

I admire, dear sister

Your struggle to surrender

To give up what you want, for what He wants

And I laude you, my sister

For your refusal to surrender

Not to let the things they say turn you away

And so I'll say

Stand up strong, cuz you belong

In the highest ranks of modesty

Stand up strong, cuz all along

You define the meaning of honesty

For your courage, under pressure

For the strength that carries you

Through the day, despite the stares

Of those who pretend, that they care

Their eyes judge you

And they question you

If only they knew

The things you do

About respect, about value

About the freedom to be you

To speak your mind, through and through

Always true

So stand up strong, cuz you belong

In the highest ranks of modesty

Stand up strong, cuz all along

You define the meaning of honesty

Why can't they see, that what you are,

Is beautiful, inside and out

Why don't they know, that it's your deen

That makes you strong, and sets you free

Why can't they see, that what you are

Is beautiful

Why don't they know, that it's your deen

That makes you strong, and sets you free

So my sister I pray,

You'll find, your way

And for a special day

When you can say

I'll stand up strong, cuz I belong

In the highest ranks of modesty

I'll stand up strong, cuz all along

I define the meaning of honesty
