Strong Gets Stronger

Doing the best we can Sometimes don't mean a damn Just carry that weight like you'd carry a friend In the end, all we have is our self, the way that we started Doesn't that make us whole? Strong gets stronger When made to carry a weight that hurts Know this: no bliss ever came for free Somehow you've got to bleed Just like the birds and the bees, as with entropy We must increase Whether we're tied to just one fate, I don't know All that I know is that we must grow And Mama, it's not your fault Strong gets stronger When made to carry a weight that hurts Know this: no bliss ever came for free Somehow you've got to bleed We're only as strong as the weight to which we're wed What doesn't go to our hearts Blows to the wind or it goes to our head We're only as strong as the weight we pull through the dirt It's no measure of worth, it's cheaper than words But it's your weight to carry So carry it well mama, carry it well Carry your weight and carry it well A star that works don't shine so bright as a star that has burst That's just you, mama, lord knows its true, what you've been through That's just you, mama, God knows its true, what you've been through So carry your weight And carry it well. Strong gets stronger When made to carry a weight that hurts Know this: no bliss ever came for free Somehow you've got to bleed Somehow you've got to bleed...
