Title: Stronger Than I Knew

Title: Stronger Than I Knew Verse 1 I was twenty-two when I left my land Holding my whole life in my trembling hands Portugal fading in the morning light Didn’t know I’d have to fight Two little girls and a baby boy They became my strength, my joy Through the dark and through the pain They were sunshine through the rain Chorus I walked away, I broke the chain From a love that lived in pain I found courage, I found truth I found power in my youth I thought I found my heart again In someone who could understand But now I’m standing unsure and slow Asking myself… should I let go? Verse 2 Years went by and I learned to heal To know the difference between fear and real You came softly into my life No more anger, no more fight I believed that this was right Peaceful days and quiet nights But something whispers deep inside A truth I’m trying hard to hide Bridge (Soft build) I won’t lose myself again Just to say I love a man If it’s real it will feel safe Not confusion every day Final Chorus I survived, I made it through I’m stronger than I ever knew If love stays it must be true Soft and steady like the blue And if it fades, I’ll be okay I’ve walked harder roads than this someday
