Story Behind The Song

Overcoming horrific losses in life and finding the strength to keep going.

Lyrics

STRONG
V1
We follow our own paths in life
Unconscious where they lead
Unaware and unafraid
Focused just on what we need
And that world outside it flows on by
As we just kind of float along
Until the world we know is shattered
And they tell us
We must be strong
We must be strong

Chorus:
You don't know what strong is
Until strong's your only choice
You don't know what you're made of
Until you find your voice
You keep giving love and living life
When no one else believes you can
Only those who've walked this road
Can really understand.
When everything you thought you knew is gone
That's when you find strong
That's when you find strong

V2.
The pieces of the life you knew
Lie scattered on the ground
You try to put them back together
But there are pieces can't be found
So you rearrange what you've got left
But if all feels so wrong
Then in the wholes and spaces left behind
You get a glimpse of strong


Chorus:
You don't know what strong is
Until strong's your only choice
You don't know what you're made of
Until you find your voice
You keep giving love and living life
When no one else believes you can
Only those who've walked this road
Can really understand.
When everything you thought you knew is gone
That's when you find strong
That's when you find strong

Bridge
So you dive into the emptiness
You look for something more
Something to believe in
Like you never did before
All those lessons that you couldn't see
Before it all went wrong
Are waiting there for you to share
When you discover that you are strong

Chorus:
You don't know what strong is
Until strong's your only choice
You don't know what you're made of
Until you find your voice
You keep giving love and living life
When no one else believes you can
Only those who've walked this road
Can really understand.
When everything you thought you knew is gone
That's when you find strong
That's when you know strong
That's when you'll be strong
