Stronger

I was caught up in a sandbar for the tide had not come in

And the ship was all but grounded here waiting to begin

There's a trick to understanding what it is you couldn't see

And a map without a compass is impossible to read

Lights out a pillowcase to cry on

A good friend to rely on for a prayer

Oh please be careful my brother

The fighting will never be fair

Oh it can only make me stronger

Cast the weight away

Oh stronger and stronger

Sail away away

The pathway to the future is always straight ahead

So I took off in that direction just to see where it led

The weather's nice in Florida when you come from the midwest

But pretty soon it turned to desert and it's sure been a test

Take heart behind the bathroom door

A good shoulder to cry on unaware

But don't forget that a kick in the face is for some daily fare

Oh it can only make me stronger

Cast the weight away

Oh stronger and stronger

Sail away away

And it's struggle that I can't escape

But it's something I can run to

Oh it can only make me stronger

Cast the weight away

Oh stronger and stronger

Sail away away
