Verse

We sat there five years ago

The doctors let us know, the test showed

Shed have to fight to live, I broke down and cried

She held me and said its gonna be alright

She wore that wig to church

Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt

No room for fear, full of faith

Hands held high singing Amazing Grace

Never once complained, refusing to give up

And I thought I was tough

Chorus

Shes strong, pushes on, cant slow her down

She can take anything life dishes out

There was a time

Back before she was mine

When I thought I was tough
