Story Behind The Song
The summer of 2005 my father died AND I had a terrible automobile accident, broke my back. I was finally allowed to go up to the Y, to sit in the hot tub only. I passed by the exercise classes that I used to attend...saw all of the strong women...and I wondered if I would ever feel strong again...

Lyrics
Before parts of me were broken, back when I was whole
I could manage anything, I was in control
They say that time will heal all wounds but can I wait til then?
God please help me make it through, until I'm strong again
Until I'm strong again
Back when things were different, before life fell apart
I swear I had a soul then, an open trusting heart
Now everybody promises that hearts and souls do mend
God please keep me holdin' on
Until I'm strong again, until I'm strong again
If only I could go to sleep and wake up months from now
Then everything would magically be made perfect somehow
And I would be my own self, complete and whole and new
No more weak and fragile, lost, without a clue
But clueless is my fate for now that's just the way it is
And sleep does not come easy however hard I wish
They all say it gets better, not one can tell me when
The darkness turns to dawn again, and I feel I belong again
I hope it won't be long til then....
Until I'm strong again, Until I'm strong again
My life will have to be on hold til then...
Until I'm strong again
I wanna be strong again.....
