Stronger Than You Think You Are Lyrics

When I was a little bit younger my grandfather would make a point to pull me aside every so often, and say Eddie, you are stronger than you think you are, you know at the time it didn't really really resonate with me, right I just kinda smiled, act appriative and moved on, but then that thing called life happened you know, and you start to see the ups and downs you experience the hardship, and no ones there to tell you how to act or how to handle it, but your response is what makes all the difference, and I look back now to that message and can't help but wounder if I'd be where I'm at today without it, because it's not just a reminder it's not something that goes on on a sticky note and gets hung on the wall, it's so much more, it's the reason why I can navigate through change, through loss, the reason why I don't fear failure, see nothing ever happened that I couldn't get through and you don't realise that unless you look back, if you decide to rise to the occasion you will, your 100% capable of doing more than you ever imagined. Reality is inararative and you are always stronger than you think you are, life is not some puzzle to be solved, it's never about hiding or worrying or eliminating all bad fortune, it's about knowing that you can and will get through everything and that nothing can push you down or keep you there, maybe the worst is yet to come, maybe it's not but the best of you, that is undiscovered, and through the very hardship that you once feared you'll be able to paint a portrait of the new you, brush stroke by Brush stroke, and see back then I didn't get that, I didn't know that growing up ment enduring difficulty, I didn't know what I truly was capable of but years have past and now i know that I am stronger than I thought I was, and whilst life is not certain, my confidence stands alone it's the reason that I run towards my dreams never away from them, and neither should you, don't forget that because during even the worst of days the darkest of nights yoy are always stronger than you think you are.
