Lost touch with my soul I had no where to turn I had no where to go Lost sight of my dream, Thought it would be the end of me I thought I'd never make it through I had no hope to hold on to, I thought I would break I didn't know my own strength And I crashed down, and I tumbled But I did not crumble I got through all the pain I didn't know my own strength Survived my darkest hour My faith kept me alive I picked myself back up Hold my head up high I was not built to break I didn't know my own strength Found hope in my heart, I found the light to life My way out the dark Found all that I need Here inside of me I thought I'd never find my way I thought I'd never lift that weight I thought I would break I didn't know my own strength And I crashed down, and I tumbled But I did not crumble I got through all the pain I didn't know my own strength Survived my darkest hour My faith kept me alive I picked myself back up Hold my head up high I was not built to break I didn't know my own strength There were so many times I Wondered how I'd get through the night I Thought took all I could take I didn't know my own strength And I crashed down, and I tumbled But I did not crumble I got through all the pain I didn't know my own strength Survived my darkest hour My faith kept me alive I picked myself back up Hold my head up high I was not built to break I didn't know my own strength I was not built to break I got to know my own strength
