[Intro – soft piano, falsetto hums]
*(Ad-lib: “Mmm… yeah, yeah… ohh”)
(Whispered falsetto: “Stronger, stronger…”)
I ain’t who I was before…
Oh no, no no…
⸻
[Verse 1 – gritty and vulnerable tone]
I’ve been breakin’, I’ve been bent
Cried a river ‘til my soul was spent
I’ve been down, I’ve been low
Had to learn to love alone
(Ad-lib: “Yeeahhh, ohhh”)
But every tear built a wall
And every fall taught me to crawl
Now I’m standin’ on my own
Baby, I ain’t made of stone — no, no, no
(Run: “Oooooh uh ohhhh”)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – soft falsetto rising into belt]
I was lost, but I found the pain
Was the fire that forged my name
Took the hurt and made it gold
Now watch me break the mold
(Ad-lib: “Watch me now…”)
⸻
[Chorus – powerful belting, stacked harmonies, emotional runs]
I’m stronger — than I ever knew
Took the pieces, built a better truth — ohhh
I’m louder — when I sing through the pain
I’m rising like a storm in the rain
I’m stronger — stronger, yeah
(Run: “Yeeeaahhh, yeah yeah yeahhh”)
You can’t break what’s already been broke
I turned to fire, from all that smoke
(Ad-lib: “Stronngggg—ahhhh—ahhh”)
⸻
[Verse 2 – building emotion, vocal textures deepen]
I still hear your ghost at night
But now I let it pass me by
Used to run, used to freeze
Now I breathe with steady ease
*(Run: “Uhhhhh huhh huhhh”)
(Ad-lib: “No more chains on me…”)
My heart’s got scars but it beats proud
Took the hurt, I wear it loud
What tried to end me lit the flame
And now I’ll never be the same
⸻
[Bridge – stripped piano + string swell, explosive climax]
Every “no” I turned to a fight
Every dark led me to the light
You said I’d break…
But baby look — I ignite
(Run: “Ohhh—ohhh—ahhhh—YEEEAAAH”)
(Ad-lib: “I ignite — I fly!”)
⸻
[Final Chorus – extended, full soul fire, gospel lifts]
I’m stronger — no fear in my soul
Burned the past just to take control — yeah yeah
I’m louder — when I rise from the fall
Can’t hold me back, I’ve seen it all
I’m stronger — stronger than pain
(Run: “Ooohhhh whoooaaahhh yeeeaahhh”)
I found my voice in the flame
And I won’t be the same — never again
(Ad-lib: “Stronger now… still standin’…”)
⸻
[Outro – piano fading, falsetto closing line]
I’m stronger…
*(Soft run: “Stronnggg—uh uh uh”)
Stronger… than you’ll ever knooow…
