A woman can only lean so long
'Til the sense of who she is is gone
I had a man that I leaned on for years
I know he thought I'd never leave
And I never really did believe
That I would ever get from him to here
Then I walked along
And it made me strong
To stand on my own and face my fears
I had to go through hell
But I found myself
On the long hard road
From him to here
There were no signs to point the way
It was step by step and day by day
At times my faith just seemed to disappear
But I never thought of turning back
A woman's pride won't stand for that
And I was bound to get from him to here
Then I walked along
And it made me strong
To stand on my own and face my fears
I had to go through hell
But I found myself
On the long hard road
From him to here
Then I walked along
And it made me strong
To stand on my own and face my fears
I had to go through hell
But I found myself
On the long hard road
From him to here
