Verse 1]
G
He’s the oldest of the four, a dreamer in the dark,
C G
Lost inside the screen-light glow, searchin’ for a spark.
Em C
Talks to folks from miles away, makes the whole world small,
G D
But he don’t feel the love that’s waitin’ down the hall.
⸻
[Verse 2]
G
His sisters and his brother, they laugh and call his name,
C G
But he’s fightin’ shadows no one else can tame.
Em C
They don’t know the battle that’s burnin’ deep within,
G D
He’s not runnin’ from their love, he’s just learnin’ how to win.
⸻
[Chorus]
C G
He’s the strong one, though he don’t see it yet,
Em C
Built from his momma’s faith and the tears she shed.
C G
Little man once stood where his daddy stood tall,
Em D
Now he’s twenty-one and tryin’ not to fall.
C G
Son, you’re loved more than words can prove,
Em C
You just gotta learn to love you too.
G D G
Yeah, the strong one — he’s you.
⸻
[Verse 3]
G
Momma held it down while Daddy sailed the sea,
C G
You were there beside her, helpin’ her believe.
Em C
Didn’t know your little hands were buildin’ up a man,
G D
With a heart so wide, it could hold the land.
⸻
[Bridge]
Em C
There’s a fire in your soul, just waitin’ on your call,
G D
The same flame that kept your momma strong through it all.
Em C
One day you’ll see what we’ve always known,
G D
That strength you’re searchin’ for — it’s been your own.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
C G
You’re the strong one, can’t you feel it now?
Em C
Every scar you carry is your sacred vow.
C G
Mom and Dad are proud, and heaven sings too,
Em D
The world’s a better place because of you.
C G
You’re loved, son, in all you do,
Em C
Just remember to love you too.
G D G
Yeah, the strong one — that’s you.
