Lyrics

She'll always be with you
Not a day goes by
When you won't think of her
She knows the tears you'll cry
But hope is everything
And life it must go on
Remember what she said
That love is in your song

You must be strong
And carry on
You have a voice
And have no choice
Life is short
And must be fought
You have a song
No right or wrong
You must be strong

You must do good
It's in your blood
You have a cause
So open doors
Light a fuse
Put on your shoes
No right or wrong
Go sing your song
You must be strong

Somewhere down the line you will meet me
And know that this was always meant to be
So lift your head up wipe away your tears
Don't waste these years
You must be strong

For somewhere down the line you will meet me
And know that this was always meant to be
So lift your head up wipe away those tears
Don't waste these years
You must be strong

And carry on
You have a voice
And have a choice
Life is sort
And must be fought
You have a song
No right or wrong
You must be strong

You must be strong
You must be strong
