What makes you strong
Isn't the weight of your bones
The heaviness of your body
Or the weight of your worst nightWhat makes you strong
Isn't the messiness of tomorrow
Or the stiffness of your back
From the pressure that was forced against youWhat makes you strong
Is your courage
The kindness you pertained
Your bright, strong capeI'll teach you what makes you strong
Adorned by the most beautiful, kind heart
