All alone on a dead end street
Not a soul in this world who could rescue me
Saw a sign that said “you’d better slow down”
I reached out for the help I needed
Never in my life have I felt so free

I didn't know my own strength
Or just how strong I could be
'Til I cam face to face with this weakness in me
Lord I learned to stand tall, learned to carry the weight
I can't believe that I've come this far
I didn't know my own strength

She walked out and left me stranded
Broken hearted and empty handed
My first thought that first night was to lay down and die
It's always darkest just before dawn and
I'm finally facing a brand new morning
I've been through the fire and I know that I can survive

I didn't know my own strength
Or just how strong I could be
'Til I cam face to face with this weakness in me
Lord I learned to stand tall, learned to carry the weight
I can't believe that I've come this far
I didn't know my own strength

Just when I thought that I could not take it
I found the power inside to make it

I didn't know my own strength
Or just how strong I could be
'Til I cam face to face with this weakness in me
Lord I learned to stand tall, how to carry the weight
I can't believe that I've come this far
I didn't know my own strength

No, I can't believe that I've come this far
I didn't know my own strength
