War Paint Songtext
von Tony Justice

I brushed the hair out of her eyes
I told her I love you
It′s hard to find the words to say
When you get that kind of news
She said they caught it early
I'm one of the lucky ones
But will you still look at me the same
When it′s all said and done
I told her until the day I die

She gets up every morning
Puts on her war paint
Charges out into the battle
When she'd rather run away
There's a trail of tears from her mascara
But don′t underestimate
The strength of a woman
When she′s wearing war paint


Now, that it's all said and done
She′ll never be the same
It's hard to feel like a woman
When a part of her ain′t here, today
She stands in front of the mirror
Through the tears she sees those scars
She fights off all the fear
With the strength of a warriors' heart

She gets up every morning
Puts on her war paint
Charges out into the battle
When she′d rather run away
There's a trail of tears from her mascara
But don't underestimate
The strength of a woman
When she′s wearing war paint

She won′t give up; she won't give in
She stands tall, proud, and brave
Strength of my woman
Strength of a woman
When she′s wearing war paint
