Like a thief in the night and without warning
So many's sleeping in their beds
Torn apart through our great state and left us moaning
And we lost some prayers and souls we won't forget

As day turns into night turns into days
We would lent a helping hand to those and need
We can conquer anything by God's dear grace
And the pictures in the songs 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 thanked in God we trust
That's something you can count on Tennessee strong

We won't let tragedy define us
Shake our fist, it held and stand up tall
Flip our hands together and be thankful
Roll up our sleeves and face the dawn

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 thanked in God we trust
That's something you can count on Tennessee strong

From the mountain top, where our voices scream
This is home, this is 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 thanked in God we trust
That's something you can count on

Tennessee strong
Tennessee strong
