Strengths

[Verse 1] The things around me, they drift and they sway Not always moving in my chosen way I reach for the tiller, I reach for the line But control is a ghost that I never can find I take what is coming, the cold and the gray You can’t turn the darkness to golden day But you stand in the current, you weather the rain And you grow through the shadow, you bloom through the pain. [Chorus] Don’t let them mold you, don’t live by their breath Don't chase their ideals to a hollow death In the end, we are equal, the high and the low It’s only the seeds of your soul that will grow Stay true to the rhythm, stay firm in the light Day after day, through the depths of the night. [Verse 2] They’ll tell you how to live, they’ll tell you how to be But their eyes are blinded, they don’t want to see What matters is only what you did alone The kindness you’ve planted, the mercy you’ve shown Were you good? Were you bad? It all comes around Like a mirror that’s waiting in silence profound So don’t waste your seconds just trying to please Stay steady and rooted like ancient trees. [Pre-Chorus] Live your own life, not the one that they claim Don’t throw it away, don’t vanish in shame There are hearts all around you that feel every tear Respect is the bridge that can conquer the fear. [Chorus] Don’t let them mold you, don’t live by their breath Don't chase their ideals to a hollow death In the end, we are equal, the high and the low It’s only the seeds of your soul that will grow Stay true to the rhythm, stay firm in the light Day after day, through the depths of the night. [Bridge] Who knows what the morning will bring to your door? As long as the sun rises, there’s something more! Stay strong when the storm tries to pull you away You are the individual, not the crowd that will stray! Be yourself! Stand tall! [Outro] Treat every soul as you’d wish to be known You are the harvest of what you have sown Don’t throw yourself away... Stay strong... Be you. The things around me...
