Lyrics
Strong Enough Now
After you've survived one of those hard times
The kind that get you just before the dawn
Anyone will tell you
If it didn't kill you
You got stronger
And surely that's no wonder
Next time you meet trouble on the road
You know you'll be ok cuz you'll remember
This is not the first time
It's not even the worst time
Cuz you're stronger
Only now ya gotta wonder
Why me?
Oh Lord
Why me again?
I thought you were my friend
But I think I'm strong enough now, Oh Lord
I think I deserve some kind of reward
I've been calm and patient
Thru grim determination
And I think I'm strong enough now.
I went down and had my fortune read
To hear the love and riches in my future
She just shook her head
No charge was all she said
and by the way, don't stay there cuz he's a-gonna hurt ya
Why me?
Oh Lord
Why me again?
Thanks for your attention,
CHO
But I think I'm strong enough now, Oh Lord
I think I deserve some kind of reward
I know you got a plan
I don't claim to understand, but
I think I'm strong enough now.
If you just need someone to toughen up
Someone whose character needs -- tweaking
I know they can't be far
You'll find them in their car
I see them on the freeway every morning of the week, so
Why me?
Oh Lord
Why me again?
Why not one of them?

CHO
Cuz I think I'm strong enough now, Oh Lord
I think that I've earned some kind of award
Is this my cosmic debt
Or did you make some kind of bet?
I think I'm strong enough now
I'm not perfect yet
But I'm as strong as I can get (You just gotta trust me on this)
I think I'm strong enough now
