STRONGER
Spermbirds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The time has come
What are you dying for
I've got something to say
Open the door
And I won't forget
The mistakes I've made
But I'm not giving up
I'm not going away

Stronger
The common thread
That makes you my friend
Is that we will not break
Although we might bend
And when we're pushed down
We'll stand up again

Stronger
Do you understand
