about
Released on the 11th anniversary of my recovery, STRONGER is the first song I wrote as a sober person and remains my constant reminder of how great positive change can happen in our lives if we just don't give up.
lyrics
BEEN A LONG TIME NOW
SINCE YOU LEFT ME HERE ALONE
BUT I DON'T MIND
COZ I HAVE GROWN
AND I FEEL ALRIGHT
SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG
GONNA TAKE MY TIME
GONNA SING MY SONG
I AM STRONGER
IT WAS ONE BIG LIE
NOW I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES
BUT I'M NOT THE KIND
WHO'LL LAY DOWN AND DIE
YOU CAN FOOL ME ONCE
THAT'S ON ME
BUT TRY IT TWICE
AND YOU WILL SEE
I AM STRONGER
BETTER EVERYDAY
I AM STRONGER
AND I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
I AM STRONGER
DEEPER THAN THE SEA
I AM STRONGER
THAN I EVER USED TO BE
WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN
YOU'LL BE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
BUT I'LL BE STANDING HERE
I'LL STILL BE AROUND
AND I'LL TAKE THIS OLD GUITAR
AND FILL IT WITH MY HEART
I'LL SHOW THE WORLD I'M READY
TO MAKE A BRAND NEW START
I AM STRONGER
BETTER EVERYDAY
I AM STRONGER
AND I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
I AM STRONGER
DEEPER THAN THE SEA
I AM STRONGER
THAN I EVER USED TO BE
IF IT TAKES A THOUSAND YEARS
FOR THE TRUTH TO BREAK
I WILL OVERCOME MY FEARS
AND SET THAT RECORD STRAIGHT
AND I'LL BE STRONGER
THAN ALL YOUR STICKS AND STONES
STRONGER
I KNOW WHERE I AM GOING
I AM STRONGER
BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN
STRONGER
AND I'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN
I AM STRONGER
BETTER EVERYDAY
I AM STRONGER
AND I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
I AM STRONGER
DEEPER THAN THE SEA
I AM STRONGER
THAN I EVER USED TO BE
SINCE YOU LEFT ME HERE ALONE
BUT I DON'T MIND
COZ I HAVE GROWN
AND I FEEL ALRIGHT
SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG
GONNA TAKE MY TIME
GONNA SING MY SONG
I AM STRONGER
IT WAS ONE BIG LIE
NOW I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES
BUT I'M NOT THE KIND
WHO'LL LAY DOWN AND DIE
YOU CAN FOOL ME ONCE
THAT'S ON ME
BUT TRY IT TWICE
AND YOU WILL SEE
I AM STRONGER
BETTER EVERYDAY
I AM STRONGER
AND I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
I AM STRONGER
