I'll Show You I Am Strong

You didn't know how strong I was.
The questioning, I've heard.
I know you've wondered, you've had your doubts.
You'd throw me to the birds.

You didn't know how strong I was
Before the winds and rain.
I doubted, too, could not believe,
I'm stronger in my pain.

You didn't know how strong I was,
Though it should come as no surprise.
The things I've seen, the life I've known
Has made me brave and wise.

I've fought battles since I was born,
Some are large and some are not.
I've stalked my prey, I've run from beasts.
I'm fast and won't be caught.

You didn't know how strong I was,
Though the road is long,
I'll raise my head, I'll climb the hills.
I'll show you I am strong.
