Ten years of prayin' into the dark Empty rooms and a breakin' heart Everybody said maybe it ain't meant to be She just set her jaw and looked at me Some women fold when the road goes rough Some walk away when it gets too tough But she never put it down That weight the whole world handed her She carried every pound Through the fire, through the flood, through the long way round God gave her more than most could bear She never put it down Mornin' comes before the sun She's already up and gettin' it done Every battle that nobody else can see She fights it quiet, on her knees Twenty-seven years, I've watched her stand In deeper water than I understand Some women fold when the road goes rough Some walk away when it gets too tough But she never put it down That weight the whole world handed her She carried every pound Through the fire, through the flood, through the long way round God gave her more than most could bear She never put it down She don't ask for flowers on a Sunday She don't need the world to know her name She don't need the world to know her name She just needs to know that when the hard days come Somebody sees her in the rain No, she never put it down That weight the whole world handed her She carried every pound Through the fire, through the flood, through the long way round God gave her more than most could bear And I thank Him that she's here She never put it down She never put it down... No, she never put it down...
