1953 in Mobile, Alabama She was a young black mother working hard to put food on the table for seven small kids All day long, pure determination She turns weeds into leaves of evergreen Dame de la Lumière Strong and bright Diamond shining in the night She’s a lady of the light 1974 in the east of New York She was an eager young student Overcame addiction, got an education, everyday stayed clean and she got away from that old street life And the wind gather all the treasures of hеr mind Dame de la Lumière Strong and bright Diamond shining in thе night She’s a lady of the light Verse one was my grandma Her name was Georgia Mae I love to sit in her room as she told stories ‘bout life in the south Her skin was smooth as butter but I know she fought many wars She’s like a queen in a pavilion looking down from a billion stars in the sky SongtexteVerse two in my mama And her name is Michiko She had big dreams and left her life in Tokyo She turned all the flames into roses A survivor and she won’t quit She’s standing taller than a mountain with All the other Dame de la Lumière Strong and bright Diamond shining in the night All the women in the fight I can feel their love and light Bad times make strong women Bad times make strong women Bad times make strong women Bad times make strong women Bad times make strong women Bad times make strong women (Bad times make strong women oh) Bad times make strong women (Oh yeah, yes they do) Bad times make strong women All the world has gone a fray But everyday she finds a way To turn it all to victory ‘Cause victory is written in her DNA Bad times make strong women Bad times make strong women (No yeah) Bad times make strong women (Ah yeah) Bad times make strong women (Bad times make strong women, yeah) Mmm Mmm Aus Songtexte Mania
