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 had together.
With a stone in my heart I stood up and love was gone.

Makes me stronger.
Makes me wiser.
Makes me stronger.
Makes me wiser, alright.

Meet me at the gates my love, down by the lock tonight.
In a sequins 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 love.
Makes me stronger.
Makes me wiser, oh love.
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 get up and I am strong.

Makes me stronger.
Makes me wiser.
Makes me stronger.
Makes me wiser this time around.
Makes me stronger my love, and this time around.
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.
With a stone in my heart I stood up and I got strong.
With a stone in my heart I stood up and I got strong.
