You Are Strong

Lift anchor and slowly you drift out to sea Your back is turned to the land The creak of the sailboat, the crystal-blue sky Behind you- you still see the sand You've been there and done that but still feel so small Your troubles have left you weak Alone in the ocean, the steering gets hard You cry till you can no longer speak A storm moves in closer, you didn't see it before Soon lightning strikes you and you're down on the floor Chorus: The winds will prevail, it'll always keep blowing So put up your sail and go with the flow- and Know that you're special, know you're enough To get yourself going when the going gets rough No matter the rainfall that falls from the sky Stand tall with the courage that'll help you get by And when the storm's over and there's no danger zone You feel strong, you stand strong- for you're not alone You walk in the street in the middle of the day pondering the things you have known Been told that you're pretty but told that you're weak Ever since you were well enough grown You remember the times that had caused you to fall When walking you start to sway As you pass by a stranger, he gives you a smile And that smile lights up your day When nothing goes right and you're on verge of tears Let the smile come in, let it calm all your fears (chorus) Those living on shadow look up to your light You're the candle on a hill When you're strong naught can get you, you can't be brought down So the storm is at a standstill Though at times you don't feel it, you're stronger than most In your footing you seem so grand Others will join you when they see who you are Your strength shows in the way that you stand An armada comes at you and your little team Can you stand strong for me and follow your dreams? (chorus) You feel strong, you are strong... You're never alone
