Charles Wesley Godwin – Strong Lyrics

Verse 1
Money’s been a wise buck this year.
Now there’s things in life
That you’ve always feared.
There ain’t a use
To poutin’ ’round.
Singing woe is me
‘Til you’re six feet down.

Always following
The same old tracks.
Time to break off
And cut a new path.
Don’t put down
These words I say.
It takes blood and sweat
To find a new way.

Pre-Chorus
You’re comin’ on
Strong.

Chorus
I know your night’s been long.
But I can see you
Comin’ ’round the bend,
And kickin’ ’til the end.
Like Prefontaine
From an outside lane
Provin’ ’em wrong
Comin’ on strong.

Verse 2
Every miss
Is a payment made
To a debt of dues
That we all must pay.
Your empty coffers aren’t a sign
That you haven’t saved
For a whole lifetime.
And you can go out swingin’
To a cold dark grave.
They can never say
That you didn’t live brave.
Born to nothin’ but pain and strain.
Leave with grit
Fixed to your name.

Pre-Chorus
You’re comin’ on
Strong.

Chorus
I know your night’s been long.
But I can see you
Comin’ ’round the bend,
Oh and kickin’ ’til the end.
Like Prefontaine
From an outside lane
Provin’ ’em wrong
Comin’ on strong.

Instrumental

Pre-Chorus
You’re comin’ on
Strong.

Chorus
I know your night’s been long.
But I can see you
Comin’ ’round the bend,
Oh and kickin’ ’til the end.
Like Prefontaine
From an outside lane
Provin’ ’em wrong
Comin’ on strong.
Provin’ ’em wrong.
Comin’ on strong.


Song Meaning & Review

The first thing I want to say about this song, is that THIS HIT ME DIFFERENT. Saying that “I love this song” is an understatement.

The way he sung it, the way the music was played, the way the singer has a lot of joy and motivation in his voice as if to say, “You can do this! Keep going and prove them wrong.”.

It’s been a while since the last time I actually listened to country music, to the point where I already forgot how wholesome and meaningful they are. Hearing this whole song literally boosted my mood like I’m suddenly so motivated to conquer the day and the days to come.

And the voice of the singer, the accompaniment music and the way he sang it strongly really contributed a whole lot to uplifting the mood of whomever would hear this.

Someone going through something currently and needs to hear this could even get teary eyed like “Wow, I’m not alone. Life’s hard, I felt so left behind but I’m not, I’ll prove them wrong in my own time and keep coming strong.”.

I really hope that this song would be able to reach more people so more people would be able to hear this, especially those who really need to hear this right now. To the singer and songwriter, thank you for creating this beautiful song and I hope you make more.
