Stronger Than You Think

by René Marie

on Sound of Red (2016)

[Verse 1]
Broken wings let me hold you close and calm your furious beating
Timid heart, please speak to me and tell the secrets that you hide
Empty hands, open up and hold on to what's worth keeping
Soul that's lost I've got some hope to take the place of all that pride
In your eyes I can see a strength that's deep and growing
On your face is a story waiting to be told
In your mind is the source of everything worth knowing
And a spirit that will never grow old

[Chorus]
And the waves you're on are gonna rise and fall
You got a lot to learn but you're never gonna know it all
Don't hide them, be proud of your battle scars
You're stronger than you think you are

[Verse 2]
Shame is an admission to ourselves of our potential
Loneliness ain't nothin' but the stranger that's inside
Emptiness just means that we're not aware of our own credentials
Battle scars mean that we've survived
Once you learn that happiness is not a competition
Once you see that what you need was with you all along
Once you know that courage is another word for intuition
Then your fears will disappear and your heart will burst out in song

[Chorus]
And the waves you're on are gonna rise and fall
You got a lot to learn but you're never gonna know it all
Don't hide them, be proud of your battle scars
You're stronger than you think you are
