(LeAnn Rimes, Dennis Matkosky, Jess Cates)

Light of my life's been stolen
I've walked in every shade of black
And I never thought I would get me back

It's funny how life can change you
And make you who you are today
I wonder if God set it up that way
For me to be...

Strong
And even when it hurts
The heat it's gonna burn
Gotta let it go
Strong, strong
Make a big mistake and never run away

There's nothing like this feeling
To be free and unafraid
Who ever thought I could be this way
Learning everyday...

Strong
And even when it hurts
The heat it's gonna burn
Gotta let it go
Strong, strong
Make a big mistake and never run away

I wanna push away the boundaries
I wanna love outside the lines
I wanna stare at the sun and not care if I go blind
Whatever comes
Whatever breaks
And stand up straight

Strong
And even when it hurts
The heat it's gonna burn
Gotta let it go
Strong, strong
Make a big mistake and never run away
Never run away, no, no, no
Strong

Strong...
