Lyrics

If it wasn't for heartache
If it wasn't for tears
I wouldn't be stronger after so many years
Through all my trials and conquering fears
Now I am stronger after so many years

I was lost and I was lonely, Searching for you, I just wanted to give up, Didn't know what to do, Then there you were, Right on time, Wiping my tear, wiping it dry

If it wasn't for heartache
If it wasn't for tears
I wouldn't be stronger after so many years
Through all my trials and conquering fears
Now I am stronger after so many years

I knew I had a purpose, Just for my life, Didn't know what it was, Tried to get it right, Then you came along, And changed my world, Transformed my heart, Like an oyster makes a pearl

If it wasn't for heartache
If it wasn't for tears
I wouldn't be stronger after so many years
Through all my trials and conquering fears
Now I am stronger after so many years

I was scared of just living, getting it right, you took me from darkness into the light, now i'm made new, and I'll go on, I'm not defeated, I'm standing strong

If it wasn't for heartache
If it wasn't for tears
I wouldn't be stronger after so many years
Through all my trials and conquering fears
Now I am stronger after so many years

If it wasn't for heartache
If it wasn't for tears
I wouldn't be stronger after so many years
Through all my trials and conquering fears
Now I am stronger after so many years
