[Verse 1] I used to bull through every battle, Head down, full steam ahead. Thought a man was made of muscle, By what he carried in his head. But I’d wake up in the nighttime Old memories knockin’ at the door. Didn’t know I was buryin’ pain, Till I couldn’t hold it anymore. [Chorus] Now I'm a different kind of strong, Not just holdin’ on. It’s knowin’ when to let go, When to trust and when to hope. It ain’t about winnin’ every fight, Sometimes it’s layin’ down my pride. It’s a different kind of strong, Now I’m flowin’ in my song. [Verse 2] I used to think I had control, Had my plans all laid out right. Thought the road would lead one direction, I had to let go of that fight. Now I wake up every mornin’, Trustin’ more in the divine. Ain’t no magic, quick solution, Just takin’ one step at a time. [Chorus] Now I'm a different kind of strong, Not just holdin’ on. It’s knowin’ when to let go, When to trust and when to hope. It ain’t about winnin’ every fight, Sometimes it’s layin’ down my pride. It’s a different kind of strong, Now I’m flowin’ in my song. [Bridge] I’ve faced the fire, walked through storms, Lost some battles, but not my soul. Ain’t just about the work I do, It’s about who I lift up too. Funny how when you start lookin’ outward, You find more of yourself in the view. [Outro] Now when I see a man who’s strugglin’, I don’t just walk on by. ‘Cause I was there once too, And I know that look in his eyes. [Chorus] It’s a different kind of strong, Not just fightin’ to survive. It’s helpin’ someone else Stand a little taller in this life. Leanin’ on grace, learnin’ to trust, Holdin’ on to what matters most. It’s a different kind of strong, Now I’m flowin’ in my song.
