The light of my life's been stolen
I've walked in every shade of black 
And I never thought I would get me back
It's funny how life can change you 
And make you who you are today
I wonder if God set it up that way 
For me to be

Strong even when it hurts
The heat it's gonna burn, gotta let it burn
Strong, strong
To make a big mistake now I've run away

There's nothing like this feeling 
To be free and unafraid
And who ever thought I could be this brave
Learning every day

Strong even when it hurts
The heat it's gonna burn, gotta let it burn
Strong, strong
To make a big mistake now I've run away

I wanna push away the boundaries
I wanna love outside the lines
I wanna stare at the sun, I don't care if I go blind
Whatever comes, whatever breaks, I'll stand up straight

Strong even when it hurts
The heat it's gonna burn, gotta let it burn
Strong, strong
To make a big mistake now I've run away
Now I've run away, now I've run away

Strong
