Stronger Than You Think

Broken wings let me hold you close and calm your furious beating

Timid heart, please speak to me, tell the secrets that you hide

Empty hands open up and hold on to what's worth keeping

Soul that's lost, I've got some hope to take the place of all that pride

In your eyes I can see a strength that's deep and growing

On your face is a story just waiting to be told

In your mind is the source of everything worth knowing

And the spirit that will never grow old

And the waves around

Are gonna rise and fall

You gotta learn to learn

You're never gonna know it all

Don't hide them, be proud of your battle scars

You're stronger than you think you are

Shame is an ignition to ourselves of our potential

Loneliness ain't nothing but the stranger that's inside

Emptiness just means we're not aware of our own credentials

And your battle scars mean that you survived

Once you learn that happiness is not a competition

Once you see that what you need has been with you all along

Once you learn that courage is another word for intuition

Then your fears will disappear

And your heart will burst out in song

And the waves around

Are gonna rise and fall

You gotta learn to learn

You're never gonna know it all

Don't hide them, be proud of your battle scars

You're stronger than you think you are
