Almost All-Purpose - Stronger Lyrics

There's a void I carried with me, I held it on my own
It ate away my center, it weighed just like a stone
But it can't beat me
Cause I am stronger
It hindered every gesture, it weighed down every smile
But now I can be who I am for the first time in a while
It can't beat me
Cause I am stronger
I am stronger than you

At one point I was frightened, at one point was ashamed
Thought everyone I cared about would disavow my name
It can't beat me
Cause I am stronger
But like when a baby bird jumps off its nest from out the tree
The warm winds of community came in to carry me
Nothing can beat me
Cause I am stronger
I am stronger than you

Then others got so angry when they found out I could fly
They said they're going to tear my wings off but I'd like to see them try
They can't beat me
Cause I am stronger
I got right in their faces, I want to make them pay
What do you do when someone tries to take your rights away
They can't beat me
Cause I am stronger
I am stronger than you

And you whose hearts are filled with hate
Who find their joy in others pain
I hope your sorrow will abate
There's nothing lost when love is gained
You're invited too, til then
We'll keep pushing through
We are stronger than you

Now I am me and and whole and I can fly so high above
Finding who I am helped my capacity to love
You can't break us
Cause we are stronger
But there still so many shame has hollowed out inside
And we won't stop till every single one is filled with pride
You can't break us
Cause we are stronger
We are stronger than you

We are stronger than you

We are stronger than you
