Be strong


I wake up every morning wondering how I made it to another day

All the strain , headaches , and heartbreaks why stay 

I long for love , happiness , and freedom it's so far away 

Be strong , be strong that's all I can hear my heart say but my mind is trying to lead me astray

What feelings , thoughts, and emotions will I portray...my actions are on a wise delay 

After the delay I say it's ok to get up and keep moving straight , why live in such disarray

I will move on , I will keep straight but most OFF all I will be strong 

That's how I make it to the next day .
