Stay strong

Stay Strong

Stay strong,

The world is gonna let you down,

With every smile hiding a frown,

They'll build you up to watch you fall,

But you’re still standing, after it all.

Stay strong,

Like everyone’s gonna put you down,

They’ll laugh when you’re lost,

They’ll mock your crown,

But your soul’s a fire they cannot drown.

Stay strong,

When silence screams louder than sound,

When no hand reaches, no arms surround,

When tears fall and no one's around—

Be your own strength, your battleground.

Stay strong,

Even when you’re walking alone,

Even when love feels like a stone,

Your heart still beats, your light still glows,

Through every thorn, a wildflower grows.

Stay strong,

Not for them—but for you,

For all you’ve faced, for what you’ll do,

Let pain be proof that you survive,

That even broken, you're alive.

Stay strong,

The storm will pass, the skies will clear,

Let your strength be louder than fear,

Stay strong—though the night is long,

You're not weak, my friend, you're strong.
