Strong-Spirited

I remember the words 
You said to me.
Told me I'm strong-spirited.
I couldn't stand up for myself,
But inside I'd always be
The two words you said to me.

I remember the words
You called me.
Told me all my insecurities.
I couldn't deny it even for me,
But within I'd always be
The two words someone said to me.

I remember the words
You said to me.
Told me I have a strong spirit.
I couldn't escape to help myself,
But deep down I'd always be
The two words you called me.

I remember the words
Giving me the strength I need.
Never again may all this bother me.
Forever those two words
Make me see my inner strength's
All I have to believe in and need.
