With a rose in her hand
And the candle on her chair
She put her hand on my hand
And with teary eyes she said
Precious time we had together
With a stone in my heart
I stood up and love was gone
Makes me stronger
Makes me wiser, oh Lord
Makes me stronger
Makes me wiser, oh Lord
Meet me at the gates, my love
Down by the lock tonight
In a sequined dress she said
Everything will be alright
Precious time we had together
With a stone in my heart
I stood up and love was gone
Makes me stronger
Makes me wiser, oh Lord
Makes me stronger
Makes me wiser, oh Lord
Makes me stronger
Makes me wiser
With a rose in her hand
And the candle on her chair
She put her hand on my hand
And with teary eyes she said
Sometimes Lord, it's hard not to lie down
But with a fire in my heart
I get up and I am strong
Makes me stronger
Makes me wiser, oh Lord
Makes me stronger
Makes me wiser, oh Lord
Makes me stronger
Makes me stronger
Makes me stronger
With a stone in my heart I stood up and I got strong
Makes me wiser
With a stone in my heart I stood up and I got strong
Makes me wiser
With a stone in my heart I stood up and I got strong
