Stronger
Cham Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a little bit stronger,
I'm a little bit wiser,
It's a little bit clearer in my mind.
I can shout a bit louder,
I can feel a bit prouder,
But nothing makes sense to me this time.

I'm a little bit older,

I'm a little bit surer,
I can fight a bit harder against the tide.
I can make it sound better,
Much better than sadder,
But nothing makes sense to me this time.

CHORUS:
I thought it was good, I thought it was fine,
I thought it was just a matter of time,
The sun would shine.
I held my breath, I covered my eyes,
Thought I was just clearing the skies,
The sun would shine.

I'm a little bit braver,
I'm a little bit wilder,
I can stand a bit closer to the light.
I can stand a bit taller,
Like I wouldn't fall over,
But nothing makes sense to me this time.

CHORUS:
I thought it was good, I thought it was fine,
I thought it was just a matter of time,
the sun would shine.
I held my breath, I covered my eyes,
Thought I was just clearing the skies,
The sun would shine.

Bridge:
If my COLOUR fades to white
Should I hold my head up high

I thought it was good, I thought it was fine,
I thought it was just a matter of time,
the sun would shine.
I held my breath, I covered my eyes,

Thought I was just clearing the skies,
The sun would shine.
