Like a thief in the night and without warning So many sleeping in their beds Torn apart through our great state and left us moaning And we lost some precious souls we won't forget As days turn into night turn into days We would lend a helping hand to those in need We can conquer anything by God's dear grace And the pictures in the song that we will sing Tennessee Strong, yeah we care for one another Tennessee Strong, it's our sisters and our brothers If you knock us down, we'll get back up Still have faith in God, we trust That's something you can count on, Tennessee Strong ♪ We won't let tragedy define us Shake our fists, it helps stand up tall Lift our hands to heaven and be thankful Roll up our sleeves and face the dark Tennessee Strong Yeah we care for one another Tennessee Strong, it's our sisters and our brothers If you knock us down, we'll get back up Still have faith in God we trust That's something you can count on, Tennessee Strong From the mountain tops, where our voices scream This is home, this is Tennessee (Tennessee) Tennessee Strong Yeah, we care for one another Tennessee Strong, it's our sisters and our brothers If you knock us down, we'll get back up Still have faith in God we trust That's something you can count on Tennessee Strong Tennessee Strong
