I wonder what makes a woman strong, br To hold one for nine long months, br And stand the pain of arrival. br br I wonder what makes a woman strong, br To stand the insults hurled each day, br To stand the oppression and stand the blame. br br I wonder what makes a woman strong, br To keep a smile after an insult, br And make love like all was fine. br br I wonder what makes a woman strong, br To wake each morning the past forgotten, br I just wonder what makes a woman strong.
