[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
Father, look in my eyes
See me as I really am
You made me, now take me
Tell me how it feels now
Behold, your flesh has come of age
Forsake me, you break me
[Chorus]
Strong as I am
There's something about this thing that scares me
Strong as I am
There's something about this thing that dares me
Strong as I am
There's something about this thing that haunts me
Strong as I am
There's something about this thing that taunts me
[Verse]
Mother, let me heal you
Your pain has lasted far too long
Release it, it k**s you
See me as I feel you
The love you would not share
Is tired of waiting
[Chorus]
Strong as I am
There's something about this thing that scares me
Strong as I am
There's something about this thing that dares me
Strong as I am
There's something about this thing that haunts me
Strong as I am
There's something about this thing that taunts me
[Bridge]
Will I leave them?
I say no
They ask me
Will you leave us?
I say no
[Outro]
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
Strong as I am
