Verse 1: I know your struggles and I know that you cried many years of tears. With your back against the wall
BVs- through it all, being strong, standing tall; conquered every fear.
Bridge (a): Sometimes I know you found it hard to face life. So, I know you found it hard tomake the sacrifice. Sometimes I know you felt the need you had to run. Deep inside, I know you had to be strong.
Chorus: Gotta be strong. You gotta be strong. You gotta be strong. You gotta be strong. You gotta be strong. X2
Verse 2: I know you hide. Cause I know that you try to hide what you feel inside and even in your pride I see it in your eyes
BVs- through it all, being strong, standing tall; conquered every fear.
Bridge (b): Sometimes I know you found it hard to face life. So, I know you found it hard to make the sacrifice. Sometimes I know you felt the need you had to run. Deep inside, I know you had to be strong.
Chorus: Gotta be strong. You gotta be strong. You gotta be strong. You gotta be strong. You gotta be strong. X2
Middle Eight/Break Down: Adlibs- You gotta be strong..
Bridge (c): Sometimes I know you found it hard to face life. So, I know you found it hard to make the sacrifice. Sometimes I know you felt the need you had to run. Deep inside, I know you had to be strong.
