Strong For My Baby

well of anyone who loved her you know i loved her the most
and if you don't believe me you can go ask our ghost
it still hovers around where we used to be
but that's over now and i got to be strong for my baby
if you ever would have seen us you would not comprehend it
one crystal heart and four fists of lead to defend it
but there's some things that third eye cannot foresee
and they've come to pass and i got to be strong for my baby
eyes closed hands around the neck of what you believe in
and if i would have kept them down she wouldn't be leavin'
eyes closed hands around the neck of what I believe in
but nobody told me it would be this hard
but nobody told me it would be this hard
but nobody told me it would be this hard
see, nobody told me...
lord give me wisdom and lord give me strength
and lord give me patience of immeasurable length
you see it was not my choice to be set free...
