Lyrics

I remember you when you were tough as nails
The one who stood up proudly when everybody bailed
You tell me you are tired now but they can’t keep you down
Cause you’re the strongest person that I’ve found

When you find yourself broken, bruised and sore
When you see yourself in pieces on the floor
We’ll find a way to fill each crack and heal you to the core
And you’ll find that you are stronger than before

This is not the first time that you’ve cried
You stood up to the devil when he laughed at you and lied
You wrestled with the tigers, you walked through broken glass
You won and lost so many in your past

When you find yourself broken, bruised and sore
When you see yourself in pieces on the floor
We’ll find a way to fill each crack and heal you to the core
And you’ll find that you are stronger than before

I can see each scar and line upon your face
The ragged badge of courage that cannot be erased
Every jagged edge and broken seam is beautiful and bright
Like a tattered flag defiant in the night

When you find yourself broken, bruised and sore
When you see yourself in pieces on the floor
We’ll find a way to fill each crack and heal you to the core
And you’ll find that you are stronger than before

... like a mended bowl of porcelain with gold in every pore
You will find that you are stronger than before
