Strong

For the days when our strength deserts us.... 


Strong

Days when I am stronger than I ever hoped to be
the days my strength did fail me
in the shadow
 blind to see

The days that I am strong enough to
take the world to change
the days that I am weak and low
no jailer bound with chains

The ties that bind run cut and deep
run close now to my veins
the thoughts that run to send me off
to dreams that never sleep

The strength it comes from deep within
a push to silent change
let strength now stand me guarded
now, break through silent chains

so strong and sure my spirit rise
in my life and death each day surprise
be strong by day, strength last till call
to catch me when life trips my fall

some days I am strong
some days I am weak
the next day calls for stronger, strongest
in my strength my weak tastes sweet
