I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve lost my way

Before I began to pray

I’ve been counted out

I’ve grappled with fear and doubt

Yet that didn’t last

In spite of my past

Cause no matter what goes wrong

I’m standing strong

Some say they hate me

Whatever will be will be

The scars I’ve earned

Reflect the lessons I’ve learned

I’ve faced many obstacles

That much I know

But those obstacles helped me grow

Things worked for the good

Just like I knew they would

Cause no matter what goes wrong

I’m standing strong

Life isn’t always sweet

That’s where God and I meet

I fall and rise again

But faith helps me win

It isn’t hard to explain

It’s how I deal with pain

I haven’t been left for dead

I will get ahead

Cause no matter what goes wrong

I’m standing strong
