Verse 1

Verse 1 Five years old when the world fell down, Silence hanging thick around, Too young to understand the pain, But old enough to feel the rain. While I was eight just trying to cope, She was learning early how to hope, Two small kids in a storm unknown — That’s where her backbone first was grown. ⸻ Pre-Chorus Life didn’t hand her easy days, It taught her grit in harder ways. ⸻ Chorus She’s stronger than she knows, Built from cracks that never show, Every tear she’s ever cried Turned to steel down deep inside. Some men run when it gets tough, Some men just ain’t built enough — But those three kids will always know Their mum’s the strongest person I know. ⸻ Verse 2 Scissors flying, hairpins tight, Working through another night, Then Saturday means muddy boots, Beachside laughs and camping routes. Passport stamps and long-haul flights, Australia under southern lights, Three small hands in hers held tight — That’s a mum who wins her fights. ⸻ Pre-Chorus No days off, no slowing down, She wears the weight without a crown. ⸻ Chorus She’s stronger than she knows, Never breaks, just bends and grows, Turns a house into a home, Even standing there alone. Some men chase another round, Lose their love in small-town crowds — But those three kids will always know Their mum’s the strongest person I know. ⸻ Verse 3 He’d clock off work, then disappear, Chasing mates and chasing beer, “Boys will be boys” — that worn-out line, While she paid the cost each time. Christmas Eve, one chair unfilled, Promises that never will, Aurora’s party, hall to clear, He slipped away for one more beer. ⸻ Verse 4 Mortgage shared but lines were drawn, No more walking in at dawn, Gambling love for one more bet — That’s a debt she won’t forget. Foils in her hair, storm in her stride, Highlander doors flew open wide, When you push a mum past grace, You’ll see fire you can’t replace. ⸻ Bridge Dad’s shadow still runs deep, In the promises we keep, And if he’s somewhere looking down, I know he’s smiling at her now. The little girl he had to leave Turned into everything she’s meant to be, He’d say, “That’s my girl, standing tall,” She lost so much — but she gained it all. ⸻ Verse 5 (Hope) And one day love will come around, The kind that stays and stands its ground, A man who knows what family means, Not chasing bars or betting scenes. Someone steady, someone true, Who gives the same she always knew, The time will come — I know it will — For a heart that matches hers in will. ⸻ Final Chorus (Lift) She’s stronger than she knows, Every setback made her grow, From a little girl in tears To the mum her kids revere. Men might drift and disappear, But I ain’t going anywhere — And those three kids will always know Their mum’s the strongest person I know.
