Since then, she has released two albums. The first was Genuine in 2000, created at the young age of fourteen. The album produced the hit single "Don't Look At Me" which topped Christian charts for ten consecutive weeks. Her next effort, the more mainstream and self-titled Stacie Orrico, was released in 2003 and charted in the U.S. Billboard Top 200, Australian ARIAnet and the United Kingdom albums charts. The first single from this album was "Stuck", which became a worldwide hit making it into the Top 5 or Top 10 of the majority of the world's charts. This was followed by the single "(There's Gotta Be) More To Life", which also charted and went top 20 in Australia and the UK. "More To Life" failed to do as well as "Stuck" but still became a hit in many countries. This was then followed by "I Promise" (top 30 in the UK), and the last single "I Could Be The One" (top 40 in the UK on June 2004). Both singles were given limited releases and limited promotion, so it is understandable that they didn't fare as well as the first two singles did.
Genuine sold over 13,000 copies in the first week, the highest debut week sales ever for a female Christian artist. Genuine sold 500,000 copies, giving the album Gold certification. Her sophomore effort, Stacie Orrico, debuted at #67 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., also good for Gold certification. "Stacie Orrico" also sold 600,000 in Japan and an estimated 2.5 million copies worldwide.
Stacie Orrico's fourth album(including her Christmas album), "Beautiful Awakening",featuring the hit single "I'm Not Missing You," was released August(2006)in Europe and Asia and was due release for Jan. 2007 in North America. However the album has not yet been released in North America, and it's uncertain whether a release date will be given at this point.
Strong Enough
Stacie Orrico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will you pass me by?
Will you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war has just begun
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?
Will my weakness for an hour make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there any way to be made whole again?
If I'm healed, renewed and find forgiveness and find the strength I've never had
Will my scars forever ruin all God's plan?
Is He not strong enough?
Is He not pure enough?
To break me, pour me out, and start again
Is He not brave enough?
To take one chance on me
Please can I have one chance to start again?
He took my life into his hands and turned it all around
In my most desperate circumstance
It's there I finally found
That You are strong enough
That You are pure enough
To break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To take one chance on me
Oh Thank You for my chance to start again
The song "Strong Enough" by Stacie Orrico talks about the struggles one faces in life and the never-ending battle to stay strong. The lyrics are very introspective and showcase the artist's vulnerability as she ponders whether God is strong enough to help her start again after facing various hardships in her life.
In the first verse, the artist asks whether people passing by will criticize or judge her as she is crying while resting on a cold wall. This shows the fear of judgment that one may have when in a vulnerable state. She then goes on to question if God is strong and pure enough to help her break free from her pain and start anew. The chorus further elaborates on this point by questioning whether God is brave enough to take a chance on her and give her another opportunity to restart.
In the second verse, the artist wonders if her weakness for an hour will cause her to suffer for a lifetime, and if the scars she carries will forever ruin God's plan for her. This shows a deep sense of concern about the consequences of one's actions and how they may impact one's future.
Overall, the song's message is about finding strength in one's vulnerabilities and gaining hope that God is strong enough to help one start again despite the challenges faced in life. It encourages listeners to have faith and trust in God's plan for their lives.

@Dam_Scene
I have the Bounce Back enhanced single, and the last track actually has a snippet of Strong Enough in a higher key, but I think lowering the key for the album version was a wise choice for the vocals. Still would've been cool to hear the first version.
@asmrsnaks
Love this song!
