These Are the Women We Come From Sisters (group) (Ft. Ashley Cleveland, Bonnie Keen & Vickie Winans)

They are faces in photographs
Heads all held high
Not afraid to look life in the eye
They were women with backbone
Keepers of the flame
With a spirit
Even hard times couldn't tame

And I know this same blood is in me
And I meet their gaze one by one
Eyes strong and clear
I still feel them near

(These are, oh, yeah)
These are the women I come from
(Faith that sustained)
The faith that sustained them
Is bred in my bones
I know what I'm made of
And where I belong
'Cause these are the women I come from

What did life bring them
What pain did they know
What stories the pictures didn't show
They were lovers of babies
And lovers of God
With lessons and laughter
In their songs
