Give me the strength I need
Give me the strength I need
To love me
Give me the strength I need
To keep breathing
Please give me strength I need
Because I don’t have any left
I thought it was over
That my life would end
It would have to end
How could I continue when I don’t have the strength
To fight for myself
I thought it was over
When I saw the car coming
And didn’t want to move outta the way
I thought my life was over
When I didn’t want to live anymore
But you came in
And forced me to breathe
You gave me strength
You made me laugh
You made me smile
You fed me when I was hungry
And there was no food in my house
You gave me your sweater
When I was cold and didn’t have my own
You kept it real
You made me see my own talent and technique
When I refused to acknowledge it
You gave me the capability to do things
I never thought I could
You’ve done so much for me
When I didn’t deserve any of it
When I had done nothing for you in return
You gave me the strength I needed
To live
Even when I didn’t ask for it
You’re the reason I’m alive
And I want to thank you
