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


[Chorus]
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


[Chorus]
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


[Repeat Chorus]
