Tough As a Rose

It seems like it can't come fast enough
But I won't give in and pass it up
To miss my chance
For everlasting love
I'd be crazy to give that up
A time or two I let myself go
And I have to reach inside
To get back on my toes
I end up reaching out to those 
That make me realize 
I am as tough as a rose
I can stand tall 
throughout the year
And sometimes I fall
Then rise without fear
My true beauty
Shines in the sun
Stormy weathers
Can't break me none
