Temptations rage strong
Threatening to overcome
No! I will not
Leave me be
And one by one
With each No that is said
With each No that is meant
The strong gets stronger
The weak gets weaker
And I am rising
Rising where I want to be
Becoming who I am meant to be
I am standing
Standing in my integrity
Holding the power
The power of No
Tag strength
Courageous
Your spine is strong
When I need support
You are my strength
When I need a friend
All through my life
Right by my side
You watch my back
And lend me yours
Long Road Ahead
Driving along an empty road
Wondering what lies ahead of me
Hoping there will be strength
And more to spare
To carry me to that place
Where I am meant to be
