I've been through the fire I've been through the rain I've felt the pain But I won't be the same I thought I had friends But they were just pretend When I needed a hand They turned and ran But today I'm stronger I won't be held down any longer I've let go of the past And I'm focusing on what will last I've learned to stand tall And I won't take the fall For those who never cared I won't let them bring me down, I won't be scared I've found my inner strength I won't let anyone else determine my fate I've let go of the lies And I'll embrace the truth that lies inside And today I'm stronger I won't be held down any longer I've let go of the past And I'm focusing on what will last I've shed my tears But I won't live in fear I've been hurt and betrayed But I won't let that define my days Today I'm stronger I won't be held down any longer I've let go of the past And I'm focusing on what will last Today I'm stronger I won't be held down any longer I've let go of the past And I'm focusing on what will last
