You've Got To Be Strong

All of your life
Change is a-gonna keep coming
Trouble and strife
If you let it, it'll drag you down
But not if your strong
You've got to get stronger
I knew it all along
I'd have to get stronger

With every step you take
And every girl you make
With every rotten mistake
You're bound to get stronger
You gotta get stronger

Nothing in life is guaranteed
Expect the unexpected
Take from life just what you need
it don't
have to be connected

Not if you're strong

If you think
Somebody's gonna help you
You need a drink
To pick you up when you're feeling down
But not if you're strong
You need to get stronger

I knew it all along
I'd have to get stronger

For all the tears you shed
All the fears you dread
You gotta get it into your head
You're gonna get stronger

You gotta get stronger
Every day in every way
You gotta get stronger
Every day in every way

You gotta get stronger
You're gonna get stronger
