I Made It On My Own
You left me out here standing in this cold cruel world alone, with three kids, no money not a soul to rely on. I might be down and out and flat broke, but I'm a strong willing woman you'll see, the final chapter of this book has yet to be written down: for the first time in my life, I have my feet planted on the ground.
We have clothes on our back and food in our bellies, a roof over our heads. I told you from the start I was strong, I didn't nee a man I'd make it on my own, hey look at me now, I've made it on my own.
We made it on our own cause our momma she was strong. She started with nothing, but she made us a home. When we asked about daddy," she replied", he left us with no one to rely on except our self. Remember these words long after I'm gone.
Never give up and hold on to your dreams; do for others before you do for you. The reward you'll receive you can't spend; it's the feeling of peace because our momma she taught use to be strong and because we made it all on our own.
