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.
