LYRICS

I know I am strongWith peace by my sideThe story is powerWill truth out in time?This one's for allThe shame in our livesI need you to call me by my nameI need you to let me be my wayThe story is powerWith peace by my sideI know I am strongI know I'm alive

Time and againBuilding a bridgeChange happens whenthey hear what we didBuild with the penBuilding with stoneBuilding with fireBuilding with boneBurdens are uglyThe burden is realI know I am strongI know I will healI know what I knowChange happens this wayWe work from withinIt ripples awayIt ripples away

We work from withinWe all gotta liveIf you felt under-lovedAnd you're at the edgeCall your nephew and nieceBy the name that they chooseBe a sensitive manPut your skill to good useGo write a good bookGo write a new songGo practice your loveWith everyoneMake it all realMake it yourself

Because you are hereAnd you're nobody elseThis one's for allThe love in your heartI know you are strongAs I fall apartThis one's for allWith peace by their sideWith peace in their heartAnd peace on their mind
