I'Ll Be Strong

I'll be strong Vs 1 You're getting tired of losing... there's not enough joy and peace to be found Sometimes it's better choosing... to set your goals high, never looking down (refrain) Let's be strong together! Make changes together! Let's be strong together! Have the courage to say: Chorus I'll be strong... I'll forget all the pain, I'll be strong... I'll learn from my mistakes, I'll be strong... I'll be who I am and not be ashamed Vs 2 Your will to live is fading... don't give up on the chance to live your dreams... maybe time to do some praying... for courage to be strong and to believe (refrain) Let's be strong together! Make changes together! Let's be strong together! Have the courage to say: Chorus I'll be strong... I'll forget all the pain, I'll be strong... I'll learn from my mistakes, I'll be strong... I'll be who I am and not be ashamed repeat chorus and fade John Derek Hamilton December 16,2020

John a fabulous lyric with an upbeat message towards the of a gloomy Year! Let us all hope and pray for a better year ahead! I am learning to write a good lyric and you have given me a good lesson. may I suggest that you do a blog on how to write a lyric. would be most helpful for learners like me. Merry Xmas to you!

Thanks Krish. Lyrics are easy usually 2-3 verses of 4 lines rhyming AB. A pre-chorus or refrain of usually 2-3 lines that are different than the verses. Chorus could be any length but must have a hook, a repeating line that catches the ear and is memorable, for example my chorus has I'll be strong repeated three times. Hope that helps.
