Be Strong


There have been times when I have wanted to give up

It felt like everyone was against me

My world was falling apart

The chilling blanket of lonliness began to creep up at me

We have all experienced days like that

But you know what?

I gotta little something to tell you:

You've gotta be strong

You've gotta stand up

You've gotta stay strong

Don't let them tell you to be quiet

You've gotta be strong

You've gotta stand up!

Every day that goes on it seems to get harder and harder to endure

The pressure this world can pit against us

But you know what?

I gotta little something to tell you:

You've gotta be strong

You've gotta stand up

You've gotta stay strong

Don't let them tell you to be quiet

You've gotta be strong 

You've gotta stand up!

The things of this world will try to take you down

But you can choose whether or not to stand up and take charge against them

Let no one and no thing control you

You stayed strong

You stood up

You took charge

You stayed strong

Didn't let them tell you to be quiet

You stayed strong

You stood up!

The things of this world will try to take you down

But you can choose whether or not to stand up and take charge against them

Let no one and no thing control you

Let no one and no thing control you 

You've gotta be strong!
