I didn’t hear the sirens that car-jacking day
I was so far gone I couldn’t even pray
Blinding flash exploding sound told me to lay down and die
But it’s always darkest just before dawning
I’m finally facing a brand new morning
I’ve been through the fire and I know that I can survive.
Chorus
I didn’t know my own strength
Just how strong I could be
Then I came face to face
With someone stronger than me
Lord I learned to stand tall
And to carry the weight
I can believe that I’ve come this far
I didn’t know my own strength
You said you’d love me forever more
But you never even darkened my hospital door
In your letter you told me now I’d just be holding you down
I prayed let me die but a voice said, “You’re needed”
Never in my life have I been so completed
Helping others in turn is helping me to turn this around
Bridge
Just when I thought that I could not take it
I found the power inside to make it
