Carrie Newcomer Three Women
There's a light in the kitchen
There's a glass on the stand
Three women round the table
And they're holding hands
They're care taking the birthings
Bringing food when they can
They're easin' the leavin'
And they're holding hands
Love can get tangled
And jumbled sometimes
You can lose your way in this world
You can lose your mind
But there's something love
In which I can depend
It's the strength in women
Holding hands
The night can be dark
So dark and wild
And life burns like a diamond
It's unbearably hard
But it's sweeter than honesty
Right from the jar
Your eyes have the look
Of some different place
You've got one foot in heaven
And one still in this land
So we breathe it in deep
And we let it out slow
We're holding up up
While you're letting us go
There's a free falling feeling
I'm lighter than air and home burns
Like a beacon in your eyes
But somehow we get anchored
Somehow we get by
Here's to the women
Who bind the wounds tight
Here's to the ones
Who sit talking half of the night
Here's to the love
And the life that they mend
And here's to the strength
In women holding hands
And here's to the strength
In women holding hands
And here's to the strength
In women holding hands
