With a rose in her hand and a candle on her chair
She put her hand on my head 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 a candle on her chair
She put her hand on my head 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, oh yeah
Makes me wiser, oh Lord
Makes me stronger (Makes me stronger)
Makes me wiser
Makes me stronger
Makes me stronger (My love, my love, this time around)
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
