[Verse 1]
The light of my life's been stolen
I've walked in every shade of black
And I never thought I would get me back
It's funny how life can change you
And make you who you are today
I wonder if God set it up that way
For me to be...

[Chorus]
Strong, even when it hurts
The heat, it's gonna burn
Gotta let it go
Strong, Strong
Make a big mistake and never run away

[Verse 2]
There's nothing like this feeling
To be free and unafraid
Who ever thought I could be this brave?
Learning every day

[Chorus]
Strong, even when it hurts
The heat, it's gonna burn
Gotta let it go
Strong, Strong
Make a big mistake and never run away

[Verse ]
I wanna push away the boundaries
I wanna love outside the lines
I wanna sail in the sun
Be okay
And fight for my life
Whatever comes
Whatever breaks
I'll stand up straight

[Chorus]
Strong, even when it hurts
The heat, it's gonna burn
Gotta let it go
Strong, Strong
Make a big mistake and never run away
Never run away
No, no, no

[Outro]
Strong!
Strong!

LeAnn Rimes

Margaret LeAnn Rimes Cibrian (August 28, 1982) is a country singer who uses the stage name LeAnn Rimes. Born in Jackson, Mississippi she started performing at age 7 and had become a country star by age 13. Known for her vocals, many say she sounds a lot like Patsy Cline.

Rimes is a two-time Grammy winner and remains active in music. She’s gone through some troubles in the past few years, perhaps the result of such a young start in the business of music.
