Shattered Strings

I learned to stand where the cold wind hits

Teeth set hard and my hands in fists Every hard word made

the iron bend I came back taller than I have been Let

the six strings burn across the sky Still my voice cuts through

the fireline

I am the weight that the ground can trust Built from pressure,

built from dust Push me down,

I come up harder Hold me back,

I grow louder When the room shakes,

I do not run I become what I was becoming

I am strong, stronger than the breaking I hold on when the

whole world is shaking Hear that guitar carve my name in flame

I rise up and I stay the same

I am

strong, stronger every minute

If the storm comes,

I go right in it

Scars turn bright when the stage lights hit Proof I survived every

part of it No easy road ever made this frame No empty

crown ever earned this name Let the fretboard speak with a sharper

tongue I still mean every word I have sung

From the floor to the rafters above I was forged by the

things I shove (oh) (ah) (yeah)

I know the cost,

I paid in thunder I know the fall,

I climbed back under Now every note pulls steel from bone And

every step says I own my road I am strong,

stronger than the breaking I hold on when the

whole world is shaking Hear that guitar

carve my

name in flame

I rise up and I stay the same I am strong,

stronger every minute If the storm comes,

I go

right in it

Strong enough to bear the weight

Strong enough to make it ring

Strong enough to take the night

Strong enough to make it sing I

am

strong I am strong (oh) (yeah)
