Whitney Houston
I Didn’t Know My Own Strength
[Intro]
Mmm, yeah

[Verse 1]
Lost touch with my soul
I had nowhere to turn, I had nowhere to go
Lost sight of my dream
Thought it would be the end of me, ah

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I'd never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to
I, I thought I would break

[Chorus]
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength, oh

[Verse 2]
Found hope in my heart
I found the light to light my way out of the dark
Found all that I need, here inside of me, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I'd never find my way
I thought I'd never lift that weight
I thought I would break

[Chorus]
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour, my faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength

[Bridge]
There were so many times I wondered
How I'd get through the night
I thought I took all that I could take

[Chorus]
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
Oh, I didn't know my own strength
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up, I hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength, mm
[Outro]
I was not built to break, no, no
I got to know my own strength
