[Verse 1]

She's been there, God knows, she's been there

She has seen and 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


[Verse 2]

A kaleidoscope of colors

You can toss her round and round

You can keep her in your vision

But you'll 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


[Verse 3]

Gentle as the sweet magnolia

Strong as steel, her faith and pride

She's an everlasting shoulder

She's the leaning post of life

She hurts deep and 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


[Outro]

She's a sparrow when she's broken

But she's an eagle when she flies

Oh, bless her, Lord

She's an eagle when she flies
