Strong
Sonna Rele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A hero takes your hand, a sweet love will follow
But life's a different game, the sorrow and the pain
Only you can change your world tomorrow
Let your smile light up the sky
Keep your spirit soaring high
Hold fast to kindness, your light shines forever and ever
I believe in you and me
We are strong
When it once upon a time in stories and in rhyme
A moment you can shine and wear your own crown
Be the one that rescues you
Through the clouds, you'll see the blue
Trust in your heart and your sun shines forever and ever
Hold fast to kindness, your light shines forever and ever
I believe in you and me
We are strong
A bird all alone on the wind
Can still be strong and sing
Sing
Trust in your heart and your sun shines forever and ever
Hold fast to kindness, your light shines forever and ever
I believe in you and me
We are strong
