You promised me When we became lovers A dream to last Like no other But it turned to dust When you tore us apart With no warning You shattered my heart When you walked away I thought I would never Be the same But now I know better And every step And every breath I take I will rise above The sadness and the pain I'm growing stronger Like a flower in the rain On my own That's not how I planned it But here I am I'm still standing And I know now The darkness has passed And the chains that held me Are broken at last I can feel the power I can see the light I can hear my heart telling me It's gonna be alright Yeah it's gonna be alright...oh yeah It's gonna be alright And with every step And every breath I take I will rise above The sadness and the pain I'm growing stronger Like a flower in the rain
