Lyrics Phyllis Hyman

Phyllis Hyman

Strength Of A Woman

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

My heart has been so broken

Holding everyone so close

Counting on them being there

When I needed them the most

There comes a time when you realize

That the only pair of arms

That will never let you go are your own

I'm not afraid to be alone

Because the strength of a woman

Comes from inside her

The light of her soul

Is to bright to hide her

Strength of a woman

So few understand

That it doesn't depend on the man

I'm learning day by day now

How much power lives in me

No more hanging on Cinderella fantasies

I place my life all the good and bad

With the courage to move on to whatever lies ahead

Come what may

I'll hear the voice inside me say

That the strength of a woman

Comes from inside her

The light of her soul

Is to bright to hide her

The strength of a woman

So few understand

That it doesn't depend on the man

My intuition has brought me this far

I don't need to wish on each falling star

I trust I've got all I need in myself

I don't have to look for it in anyone else

Because the strength of a woman

Comes from inside her

The light of her soul

Is to bright to hide her

Strength of a woman

So few understand

That it doesn't depend on the man

That it doesn't depend on the man

Strength of a woman

Oh, oh

I stand alone

I'm on my own

I am free to be me

The strength of a woman

Oh, oh

The strength of a woman

The strength of a woman

The strength of a woman
