With a rose in her hand and a candle on her chest

She put her head on my head and with teary eyes she said:

Precious time we have together

With a stone in my heart I looked up and she was gone.

And it makes me stronger, makes me wiser

It makes me stronger, makes me wiser

Meet me at the gates my love down by the lock tonight

In a sequins dress she said everything will be alright

Well sir this time we have together

With a stone in my heart I looked up and she was gone

And it makes me stronger, makes me wiser

It makes me stronger, makes me wiser

With a rose in her hand and a candle on her chest

She put her head on my head and with teary eyes she said:

Sometimes lord, It's hard not to lay down

With a fire in my heart, I stood up and I am strong.

And it makes me stronger, makes me wiser

It makes me stronger, makes me wiser
