We Are Strong

We Are Strong
Written by Donna Ulisse and Rick Stanley (key of B)


Like blades of grass peekin’ through the snow
We were once new as spring
The change in March and the April rain
Helped us grow enough to work through anything

Life blew hard, had us fighting back
But we stood like an old oak tree
And weathered storms that almost did us in
But found our shelter in the things that we believe

We are strong, we are strong
You and me like Hercules, we’re liftin’ stones
And buildin’ on, we’re buildin’ on
To this house of what we are ‘cause we are strong

Now every year seems to strengthen us
Our roots are always growing deep
And trials come but they don’t scare us none
Because we know together is the golden key

And when you’re down I always lift you up
And when I’m down you always do the same
That’s how we are, that’s what makes us tough
And our love sees us through every single day

We are strong, we are strong
You and me like Hercules, we’re liftin’ stones
And buildin’ on, we’re buildin’ on
To this house of what we are ‘cause we are strong
