Strong and Free

[INTRO] [ Grand Piano, CELLO] . . . . **Verse 1** Not what I’ve been through made me strong, It hurt me deep, left me questioning all along. There were days so full of night, Feelings of loneliness, always in sight. **Pre-Chorus** It marked me deep, left a scar inside, But I found the courage, the door opened wide. To a new self, strong and free, Now I rise up, it's my destiny. **Chorus** I made myself stronger, found my way, From the ashes, I'm reborn today. Through pain and tears, night after night, I've ignited my inner light. [Lead Guitar] . . . . . . . . **Verse 2** The scars remain, but they tell the tale, Of a battle fought, of a soul’s travail. I walked alone through storm and gale, Found myself, set a new sail. **Pre-Chorus** It marked me deep, left a scar inside, But I found the courage, the door opened wide. To a new self, strong and free, Now I rise up, it's my destiny. **Chorus** I made myself stronger, found my way, From the ashes, I'm reborn today. Through pain and tears, night after night, I've ignited my inner light. [BREAK] . . . . **Bridge** Now I see clear, what’s inside of me, A strength that covers all, sets me free. I'm reborn, pure and strong, And I'll be invincible, from now on. **Chorus** I made myself stronger, found my way, From the ashes, I'm reborn today. Through pain and tears, night after night, I've ignited my inner light. [Outro] [PIANO, LEAD GUITAR] [Instrumental , fading out]
