[ STRONGER ]
---
[Intro – soft, raw, echo FX]
I ain’t who I was before
[Whispered echo: no more]
---
[Verse 1 – soulful, mid-tempo piano/guitar base]
I’ve been breakin’, I’ve been burnt
Cried a river ‘til my soul was spent
I’ve been down, I’ve been low
But I ain’t made of stone—no, no, nooo
(Ohh no nooo)
---
[Pre-Chorus – layered harmonies, swelling with every line]
My heart’s got bruises but it beats loud
Took the hurt—and I wear it proud
I break the locks with every line—
No more chains on me
(Ahhh—ahhhh—nooooo more chains on meee!)
---
[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
(Yeeeaahhh, yeah yeah yeahhh)
You can’t break what’s already been broke
I turned to fire, from all that smoke
Stronngggg—ahhhh—ahhh
---
[Verse 2 – grittier tone, with light drums added]
I’ve been silenced, I’ve been bruised
Told my power was mine to lose
I’ve been torn, I’ve been used
Still I rise, with nothin’ left to prove
(Ohhh I rise)
---
[Pre-Chorus – same melody, more intense delivery]
My heart’s got bruises but it beats loud
Took the hurt—and I wear it proud
I break the locks with every line—
No more chains on me
(Ahhh—ahhhh—nooooo more chains on meee!)
---
[Chorus – add full choir background and cymbal hits]
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
(Yeeeaahhh, yeah yeah yeahhh)
You can’t break what’s already been broke
I turned to fire, from all that smoke
Stronngggg—ahhhh—ahhh
---
[Bridge – dramatic build, from soft to full belt]
[Spoken quietly]
I was broken—
[Build]
I was small—
[Full voice]
Now I’m louder than them all—
[Final belt]
Try and cage me—watch me fly!
(Flllyyyyyyyyy—ahhhhhh—ahhhh—YEAHHH!)
---
[Final Chorus – Modulated Key, full vocal explosion]
I’m stronger — than I ever dreamed
Took the wreckage, built a legacy — ohhh
I’m louder — when I scream through the pain
I rise like thunder through the rain
I’m stronger — stronger, yeah
(Yeeeeaaahhhh! Stronger now—stronger noooow!)
You can’t break what’s already been broke
I turned the ashes into smoke
No more chains—
(AHHH—AHHHH—NOOOOO MORE CHAAAAAINS ON MEEEEEEE—YEAHHHHHH!)
---
[Outro – minimal piano, spotlight moment]
No more...
Chains… on me...
[Beat of silence]
I’M STRONGER.
(Stronnngerrrrr—aaahhhh—AHHHHH—ohhhhhh—yeahhhhhh)
[Fade with distant echo: Stronger… stronger…]
