Verse
We sat there five years ago
The doctors let us know, the test showed
Shed have to fight to live, I broke down and cried
She held me and said its gonna be alright

Pink ribbon pinned there on her shirt
No room for fear, full of faith
Hands held high singing Amazing Grace
Never once complained, refusing to give up
And I thought I was tough

Shes strong, pushes on, cant slow her down
She can take anything life dishes out
There was a time
Back before she was mine
When I thought I was tough
