Standing Tall , Standing Strong

What doesnt kill us only makes us stronger I've held on my whole life I think I can hold on a lil' longer I stand here for every young woman whos ever had their innocence takin I stand here for every young woman whos ever been beaten by their drug addicted acoholic mother Im standing tall, taller than ever Im standing strong, stronger than ever I stand here for every young woman who cried their self to sleep because the pain was so bad from getting nothing to eat I stand here for every young woman who had to steal to put clothes on their back and shoes on their feet Im standing tall, taller than ever Im standing strong, stronger than ever I stand here for every young woman who thought life wasnt worth it and wish they would die I stand here for every young woman who's ever contaplated suicide Im standing tall, taller than ever Im standing strong, stronger than ever I stand here to let you know that you can stand tall stand strong and walk away I stand here as a young woman who did I stand here as a young woman who now knows there is a reason to live Rember what doesnt kill you only makes you stronger Youve held on your whole life I think you can hold on a lil' longer Stand Tall Stand Strong and let the young woman of our future that there is a way That there will be a bright and better day Stand Tall, Taller than ever Stand Strong, Stronger than ever
