She's been there God knows she's been there She has seen an' done it all She's a woman she knows how to Dish it out or take it all Her heart's as soft as feathers Still she weathers stormy skies And she's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies
A kaleidescope of colours You can toss around and round You can keep her in your vision But you never keep her down She's a lover, she's a mother She's a friend and she's a wife And she's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies
Gentle as the sweet magnolia Strong as steel her faith an' pride She's an everlasting shoulder She's the leaning post of life She hurts deep an' when she weeps She's just as fragile as a child And she's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies
She's a sparrow when she's broken But she's an eagle when she flies oh Blessed Lord But she's an eagle when she flies
