It takes courage to speak
silence is easy
quiet is not hard to do
voices take work
speak faith
speak pain
speak help
speak torment
these are the hard things
silence faith
quiet pain
silence help
quiet torment
these are easy to do
It takes courage to speak
open your mind
expose your soul
feel something
Speak your courage

I am more than what you think
or what you assume to know
more than all the gossip
so much I never show
I am more than you
more than you will ever be
even when I’m down
there is still more to me
I am more than this moment
the one that tries to defeat
more than this setback
my heart will still beat
I am more than I realize
reaching down deep inside
to set free
all that lies inside

It is the struggles that makes us strong
the daily trials as we go along
tests of character and of mind
it is in these true strength we find
Though these times may seem so dark
life is never just a walk in the park
with each one we grow a little more
becoming stronger than before
While we walk in the trials we may feel weak
the things about which we do not speak
pushed down by the weight we fight to stand
every now and again with a helping hand
The trials we face the tests of the heart and soul
things over which we have no control
they give us strength they make us strong
able to face whatever this life brings along

Get knocked down things not going well
feeling as if you’re spending time in hell
nothing goes right all lows and no highs
and still you have the strength to rise
Feeling hopeless lost and afraid
the best of plans get waylaid
no words to speak only sighs
and still you have the strength to rise
Heartbroken dreams cast aside
looking for a place in which to hide
failing failing so many tries
and still you have the strength to rise
Sun breaks through the clouds now gone
a new path unto your feet is shown
triumphant through adversity only truth now no lies
and all because you had the strength to rise
