Somebody told me
Your spirit had gone
Worn down by a cynical world
Had it stolen your clothes

Somebody told me you know, you know
If it don't kill you it'll make you strong

And I wish I was close
I would wrap my lovin' arms around you
But I'm not and all I've got
Are my platitudes, songs and the
Hopes that you'll make it through

Somebody told me you know
Don't you know
If it don't kill you it'll make you strong
If it don't kill you it'll make you strong

I tried to remember
Was such a long time ago
When we were forever
You said we'd always gone on
Being stronger and stronger
And strong

Stronger and strong

Somebody told me
Your spirit had gone
But I don't believe it's true
Cause it was you
Who said the spirit goes on and on and on

Somebody told me it was you - you know
If it don't kill you it'll make you strong

Yeah yeah it will make you so strong
It will make you so strong
You'll be stronger than strong
