Strong

“I’m amazed by you”,
It’s what they say.
“All you’ve been through,
It doesn’t show upon your face”.
The world is falling upon you, or so it seems,
You’re so alone, no shoulder to lean.

I lift my hands and am crying out,
Tears stream my cheeks like a water spout.
I pray to God to wipe them away,
In a gentle voice I hear him say,
“You have two reasons to sing a song,
Their the reason you must stay strong”.

I’m standing here weak as can be,
I have nothing left, no strength in me.
I drop to my knees, and give a sigh.
The world don’t stop, just passes right by.
I lift my head up and try again,
Wipe my face and say “where to begin”.

I have a song, and my song is this,
All I have been through I cannot quit.
I have yet to dream & see them come true,
I’ve got to stand strong & see these dreams through.
I have two souls that depend on me,
I cannot quit, turn and flee.
I have only two reasons left to sing,
Without them two…I wouldn’t have a thing!
