I Am
Mya · Liberation [2007]
I am stronger than before
I have risen from a fall
I will break down anything in my way without looking back at all
I am stronger than before
Not a thing can hold me down
I will make it
I will take it
I will always be around
There is a thing that I got
Something I never had before
There is a reason i've got
To be everything I am i'm sure
I have been weakened by you
For 1 hundred days too long
I have been broken in two
But i've never felt so strong
There is a power inside me
Its pushing now and its not letting go
There is a feeling inside me
I'm not slowing down and it wont let me stop
Making me more than i am
Holding you where you are
And im reaching the top
Aint nothing that you can do
Cause im already there and im not going to drop
[chorus]
I am stronger than before
I have risen from a fall
I will break down anything in my way without looking back at all
I am stronger than before
Not a thing can hold me down
I will make it
I will take it
I will always be around
I wont be broken no more
Because im everything im meant to be
It doesnt matter before
Im changing every thing bout me
Now I believe in myself
Not a thing can touch me now
No interest in anyone else
Im all about making myself proud
[pre-chorus]
There is a power inside me
Its pushing now and its not letting go
There is a feeling inside me
I'm not slowing down and it wont let me stop
Making me more than i am
Holding you where you are
And im reaching the top
Aint nothing that you can do
Cause im already there and im not going to drop
[chorus]
I am stronger than before
I have risen from a fall
I will break down anything in my way without looking back at all
I am stronger than before
Not a thing can hold me down
I will make it
I will take it
I will always be around
Im not gonna drop
Im not gonna drop
Im not gonna stop
Im not gonna drop
I Am
