Strong

© 2017 Jenna Paone & Laura B. Whitmore

When it’s time
To take the step you cannot take
To face the truth you cannot face
To brave the storm you cannot brave

And you’re high and dry and the lighting strikes and the sky’s on fire
And you’re out to sea and you’re in too deep and the waves get higher
And it’s either sink or swim, and it’s up to you to choose
Win or lose
You know what you’re gonna do

Chorus:
You’re gonna be strong
Gonna find a way to carry on
Gonna fight with everything you’ve got
You’re gonna get tough, not gonna give up
You’re gonna be strong

And there’ll be times
You might bruise but you won’t break
Get knocked down but you won’t stay
Be afraid but do it anyway

When you’re on the ropes and you’re out of hope and your head is spinning
And your eyes are black and the odds are stacked and you’re tired of swinging
And it’s either now somehow, or never coming true
Win or lose
You know what you’re gonna do

Chorus:
You’re gonna be strong
Gonna find a way to carry on
Gonna fight with everything you’ve got
You’re gonna get tough, not gonna give up
You’re gonna be strong

When you lose your way on your darkest day and there’s no direction
And the path is hard and you’ve gone too far and you’re full of questions
And you can’t turn back around, so you have to go on through
Win or lose
You know what you’re gonna do

Chorus:
You’re gonna be strong
Gonna find a way to carry on
Gonna fight with everything you’ve got
You’re gonna get tough, not gonna give up
You’re gonna be strong
