  • Mmh, yeah

    Lost touch with my soul
    I had no where to turn
    I had no where to go
    Lost sight of my dream
    Thought it would be the end of me, ah

    I thought I'd never make it through
    I had no hope to hold on to, I
    I thought I would break

    I didn't know my own strength
    And I crashed down, and I tumbled
    But I did not crumble
    I got through all the pain
    I didn't know my own strength
    Survived my darkest hour
    My faith kept me alive
    I picked myself back up
    Hold my head up high
    I was not built to break
    I didn't know my own strength, ohh

    Found hope in my heart
    I found the light to light
    My way outta the dark
    Found all that I need
    Here inside of me, ohh

    I thought I'd never find my way
    I thought I'd never lift that weight
    I thought I would break

    I didn't know my own strength
    And I crashed down, and I tumbled
    But I did not crumble
    I got through all the pain
    I didn't know my own strength
    Survived my darkest hour
    My faith kept me alive
    I picked myself back up
    Hold my head up high
    I was not built to break
    I didn't know my own strength

    There were so many times, I
    Wondered how I'd get through the night, I
    Thought took all I could take

    I didn't know my own strength
    And I crashed down, and I tumbled
    But I did not crumble
    I got through all the pain, ohh
    I didn't know my own strength
    My faith kept me alive
    I picked myself back up
    I hold my head up high
    I was not built to break
    I didn't know my own strength, mmh

    I was not built to break
    No, no
    I got to know my own strength Writer/s: Diane Warren
