Strong

"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"

 

Paul McCartney, The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics

Sometimes, when you really need something and you aren't even sure what that something is or how to get it, be it comfort or care or just a reminder of who it is you are, you search for one thing and stumble across something else entirely that speaks eloquently to your soul.  Yesterday, I was lucky that way and stumbled into this...

Strong

Megan’s just a Wallflower

Pushin’ through the hallways

Nobody knows her name

Sometimes High School feels like a minefield

Just tryin’ to get through the day

She’s an easy target for small minds

They don’t know that inside

She’s strong as steel forged in the fire

Bargin’ through the scared and the tired

‘til all the weak is gone..

She’s strong

Susan counts the tips and looks in on her kids

 to make sure they get their homework done

They’re gonna go to college

She’ll work as many jobs as it takes for her daughter and son

Some nights she feels defeated

 Don’t mistake that for weakness

She’s strong as steel forged in the fire

Bargin’ through the scared and the tired

It’s always darkest before the dawn

She’s strong…

She’s strong enough to bend but never breaking

Strong in the face of the battle ragin’

Set on movin’ on

Strong as a prayer arms wide open

Strong as a will that won’t be broken

She’s strong as steel forged in the fire

 Bargin’ through the scared and the tired

‘til all the weak is gone

She’s strong
