Strength, by Sister Soleil

Gotta love yourself, gotta be your best friend
Ain't nobody who'll wait on you when you're acting like you're nearing the end
Even though it's tough, been through so much
What you know you take from it and shape it until it makes you strong
When you find that strength, really can't complain
The same stuff that brought you down is the same that makes you turn all around
Over the heads, of the ones you dread
And nothing comes between you and your higher place ever again
Ever again
Ever again

Don't you understand me
I don't feel anymore what I felt before
Don't you understand me
I don't feel anymore what I felt before

Gotta give it up, gotta stand on top
Get your feet back on the ground and walk away from what gets you down
There is no time, for doing the crime
Robbing yourself of life that could be much like a walk in the light
I'm not so special, I've come back from hell
To realize that nothing matters ever unless I let it
Unless I let it
Unless I let it

Don't you understand me
I don't feel anymore what I felt before
Don't you understand me
I don't feel anymore what I felt before
Don't you understand me
I don't feel anymore what I felt before
Don't you understand me
I don't feel anymore what I felt before

An invitation to my graduation
Gotta listen to the positive message and take it all in
Take it all in
Take it all in
