Yeah, mmm
Sometimes the strongest ones need a light too
I see you moving through the city with that heavy weight
Always putting everyone before your own plate
You got that armor on, iron skin, steady gaze
Navigating through the shadows of these endless days
Dee, I see the way you hold it down for the crew
But tell me, who is out here checking up on you?
Yeah, the world expects you to be a concrete wall
But even the tallest towers sometimes feel the fall
Who checks on the strong ones, Dee?
When the lights go dim and you're tired, baby
I wanna be the one to hold the space for your heart
Pulling all the pieces back together, doing my part
Who checks on the strong ones, Dee?
I'm reaching out, I need you to just let it be
Come here, rest a while, you don't have to be brave
I'm the calm in the middle of the tidal wave
People look at you and see a mountain standing tall
They don't see the cracks behind the scenes at all
You're the lifeline, the provider, the guiding star
But they forget that you're human, exactly who you are
Dee, you've been carrying the sky on your own shoulders
While the night gets dark and the wind gets colder
I see the flicker in your eyes when you think nobody's near
Let me step in, let me silence every fear
Who checks on the strong ones, Dee?
When the lights go dim and you're tired, baby
I wanna be the one to hold the space for your heart
Pulling all the pieces back together, doing my part
Who checks on the strong ones, Dee?
I'm reaching out, I need you to just let it be
Come here, rest a while, you don't have to be brave
I'm the calm in the middle of the tidal wave
It’s okay to lay the burden down
It’s okay to lose the heavy crown
You don't always have to be the one that's right
Just lean on me, let me bring you the light
Yeah, baby, I'm here for you, mmm
So when the world gets loud and the pressure starts to rise
Look for the reflection of love inside these eyes
I’m your soft place to land, your quiet harbor street
Where you don't have to be anything, just be Dee
No more hiding, no more masks, no more silent tears
We’re breaking down the walls, dissolving all the fears
I’ve got your back, today, tomorrow, and forevermore
I'm the one who's keeping watch right outside your door
Who checks on the strong ones, Dee?
When the lights go dim and you're tired, baby
I wanna be the one to hold the space for your heart
Pulling all the pieces back together, doing my part
Who checks on the strong ones, Dee?
I'm reaching out, I need you to just let it be
Come here, rest a while, you don't have to be brave
I'm the calm in the middle of the tidal wave
Yeah, I’m checking on you, Dee
Rest your head, you’re safe with me
No more heavy lifting for a while, mmm
I’m right here, baby
Just breathe.
