Made Strong (Live Studio Session)

Verse 1

You said I was too much
They said I’d never last
Funny how they point at you
And don’t look at their own past
Grew up where the dirt was red
And the prayers were loud
Learned to hold my head so high
I stand out in a crowd

Chorus

You can’t break what was made strong
You can’t shake what’s been here long
I was built from thunder
Fire
And a heavy storm
Every tear turned into stone
Every “no” just helped me grow
I remember who I am when the night feels long
I was made strong
I was made strong (oh, I was)

Verse 2

Talk soft but my roots run deep
Like Grandma’s Sunday grace
Carried all my hidden scars
Like jewels in a sacred place
You might see me bend a bit
But baby
I don’t fold
Pressure made this diamond shine
I turned that hurt to gold

Chorus

You can’t break what was made strong
You can’t shake what’s been here long
I was built from thunder
Fire
And a heavy storm
Every tear turned into stone
Every “no” just helped me grow
I remember who I am when the night feels long
I was made strong
I was made strong (hey, I was)

Bridge

Talk down on me?
That’s your fear speaking
You can’t name me
When my God already did
Every burden on my back
Just a weight I learned to lift
I’m the answer
I’m the blessing
I’m the gift

Chorus

You can’t break what was made strong
You can’t shake what’s been here long
I was built from thunder
Fire
And a heavy storm
Every tear turned into stone
Every “no” just helped me grow
I remember who I am when the night feels long
I was made strong
I was made strong (sing it again)
I was made strong (so strong)
I was made strong
