the strong one

I always thought you were the strong one
That I was weak, unable to survive alone
You were my strength, the one who caught me.
Now I see I am not weak
I am not always the small one
I am not the only one who is afraid

Now I am the strong one
The brave one
I will hold your hand through the darkness
Shelter you from the pain
No one will ever hurt you again, not while I’m here

Yes, now I am the steady one
Let my strength carry you through
We’ll make it
I promise I will be here
And soon I am sure, you will be the strong one and you will protect me
