I know I’m still
Your little girl.
But I’ve grown up,
I have to run my own world.
You want to protect me
And I understand;
But you can no longer
Through life hold my hand.

Chorus:
I’m stronger than you think;
Stronger than you know.
I’m young, but I have strength;
One day I’ll have proof to show.
Please don’t worry,
Don’t stress about me.
I really am strong,
You will see.

I need to be on my own,
Make my own mistakes.
Stand on my own,
Learn to fix the breaks.
I need you to trust me,
Let me be on my own.
Then I’ll be able
To trust myself alone.

Chorus:
I’m stronger than you think;
Stronger than you know.
I’m young, but I have strength;
One day I’ll have proof to show.
Please don’t worry,
Don’t stress about me.
I really am strong,
You will see.

You raised me good,
You raised me strong.
With the lessons I learned,
I won’t go wrong.
You taught me well, but now
The knowledge I must apply.
You helped me find my wings,
But now you have to let me fly.

Chorus:
I’m stronger than you think;
Stronger than you know.
I’m young, but I have strength;
One day I’ll have proof to show.
Please don’t worry,
Don’t stress about me.
I really am strong,
You will see.  ©
