Before I was strong I knew what it was to be weak How difficult it was to love myself And find the wholeness I seek
Before I knew the light I lived in constant darkness too My world fell into hopelessness So dark I couldn’t see through I have cried the tears it takes The courage to stand up again Being broken down and bruised You can only relate to the pain
How can I appreciate the love If i haven’t seen hate I forgot the meaning of love and laughter My heart was left abate
Now I know strength and courage It requires a lot to get it right I’m facing the things that held me down I gotta hold my head up and fight
Before I was who I am now I was someone I didn’t want to be I was lost, battered, and defeated Before I knew how to be me‼️
