[Intro – soft piano, falsetto hums] *(Ad-lib: “Mmm… yeah, yeah… ohh”) (Whispered falsetto: “Stronger, stronger…”) I ain’t who I was before… Oh no, no no… ⸻ [Verse 1 – gritty and vulnerable tone] I’ve been breakin’, I’ve been bent Cried a river ‘til my soul was spent I’ve been down, I’ve been low Had to learn to love alone (Ad-lib: “Yeeahhh, ohhh”) But every tear built a wall And every fall taught me to crawl Now I’m standin’ on my own Baby, I ain’t made of stone — no, no, no (Run: “Oooooh uh ohhhh”) ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – soft falsetto rising into belt] I was lost, but I found the pain Was the fire that forged my name Took the hurt and made it gold Now watch me break the mold (Ad-lib: “Watch me now…”) ⸻ [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 (Run: “Yeeeaahhh, yeah yeah yeahhh”) You can’t break what’s already been broke I turned to fire, from all that smoke (Ad-lib: “Stronngggg—ahhhh—ahhh”) ⸻ [Verse 2 – building emotion, vocal textures deepen] I still hear your ghost at night But now I let it pass me by Used to run, used to freeze Now I breathe with steady ease *(Run: “Uhhhhh huhh huhhh”) (Ad-lib: “No more chains on me…”) My heart’s got scars but it beats proud Took the hurt, I wear it loud What tried to end me lit the flame And now I’ll never be the same ⸻ [Bridge – stripped piano + string swell, explosive climax] Every “no” I turned to a fight Every dark led me to the light You said I’d break… But baby look — I ignite (Run: “Ohhh—ohhh—ahhhh—YEEEAAAH”) (Ad-lib: “I ignite — I fly!”) ⸻ [Final Chorus – extended, full soul fire, gospel lifts] I’m stronger — no fear in my soul Burned the past just to take control — yeah yeah I’m louder — when I rise from the fall Can’t hold me back, I’ve seen it all I’m stronger — stronger than pain (Run: “Ooohhhh whoooaaahhh yeeeaahhh”) I found my voice in the flame And I won’t be the same — never again (Ad-lib: “Stronger now… still standin’…”) ⸻ [Outro – piano fading, falsetto closing line] I’m stronger… *(Soft run: “Stronnggg—uh uh uh”) Stronger… than you’ll ever knooow…
