Song Lyrics
Strong in my mind
I woke up 2 weeks early
And I just knew
Get the room ready
Within the chaos
I found that pocket of peace
The clock was ticking
Hours of trying everything
Fear of not being able
Eager to bring my son into this world
Within the chaos
I found that pocket of peace
My own safe space
Walked room to room
Negative memories gone
A house became a home
Within the chaos
I found that pocket of peace
Biggest blessing
The tribe of women
Wisdom a beautiful thing
Thank God my mom was there
Within the chaos
I found that pocket of peace
My eyes were finally open
I would do it over again and over again
Just to have you
Within the chaos
I found that pocket of peace
Thank God you’re here
I’m holding you
And we are gonna be okay
Strong in my mind
