i want you to know that you have only made me stronger
whoa
and from the top of my lungs i will scream this louder
whoa
if there's anyone out there who feels the same as i do
as we do
then sing with me and make this true
i pushed too hard
all my friends said i was making mistakes
but i followed my heart
even when it led me the wrong way
i went too far
all my friends said i was making mistakes
but i follow my heart
even when it leads me the wrong way
i am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. he has led me
and brought me into darkness
but not into light. surely against me is he turned; he turns his hand against me all the day. my flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones. he has built against me
and compassed me with gall and travail. he has set me in dark places
as they that be dead of old. he has hedged me about
that i cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy. also when i cry and shout
he shuts out my prayer. he has enclosed my ways with hewn stone
he has made my paths crooked. he was to me as a bear lying in wait
and as a lion in secret places. he has turned aside my ways
and pulled me in pieces: he has made me desolate. he has bent his bow
and set me as a mark for the arrow. he has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. i was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. he has filled me with bitterness
