"Hurting Made Me Strong"

I was Superman on the stairs, flying with a scream

Till the fall caught my wings, broke both of my dreams

Right hand first, then the left came next

Skateboard on my foot, yeah, blood in every step

Garlic and alcohol, mama’s healing touch

Pain in my bones, but I never gave up much

Hit by a truck, walking like a ghost

Scratches and bruises, yeah I took the most

They called me crazy, I just kept going

'Cause pain never stopped where my fire was flowing

I’ve been hurting, but now I’m strong

Every fall became a verse in my song

Could’ve stayed down, could’ve cried out loud

But I rose like thunder, broke through the clouds

From the floor to the fire, I walked alone

Yeah, hurting made me strong, and now I’m grown

Jumped off a bus before it stopped, tried to fit in

But I hit the ground hard, couldn’t fake a win

Zombie steps, bleeding knees, but I smiled

Said, “I’m okay,” though I hurt for miles

Big spike in my hand, tears like rain

Hospital lights, students learning my pain

Five stitches deep, every poke a war

Needle through my hand, like a battle scar

Could’ve screamed, could’ve froze in place

But I walked it off with that warrior grace

This ain’t just pain—it’s proof I’m alive

Every bruise a story of how I survived

I’ve been hurting, but now I’m strong

Every scar’s a reason I belong

Could’ve stayed down, could’ve cried out loud

But I rose like thunder, broke through the clouds

From the floor to the fire, I walked alone

Yeah, hurting made me strong, and now I’m grown

You decide if you freeze or move

Let the world see what pain can prove

Ain’t no shame in the fall, just rise

With the power in your hands and fire in your eyes

I’ve been hurting, but now I’m strong

Every moment shaped where I belong

Could’ve stayed down, could’ve cried out loud

But I stood tall, even broken and proud

From the floor to the fire, I walked alone

Yeah, hurting made me strong—this pain built my throne

So if you're down, get back on your feet

Even with scars, you’re still complete

Pain don’t stop the ones who rise

I kept walking... now I own the skies.
