Strong

[Elastinen:]
I was picked last
when we played sports at school
Otherwise I was seldom even noticed
in the back row I drew on my desk
(Oo-ooh)
 
I grew up there where no one knew what we would grow up to be
there was no pressure, school was a trip to me
A trusted friend, in the hood this guy was
but these juniors are cruel to each other too
Stress, status and reputation settled
little dudes from the inside still in a construction stage
When I didn't have always enough strength
I should have heard these words:
 
[Robin:]
They have seen only your shell,
and don't yet know what's inside you
Now hold your chin up, you mustn't get scared
or withdraw and hide
You'll grow up to be stong fearless
 
[Elastinen:]
I attracted troubles
but I grew against all odds
And studying was a heavy load
I didn't fit into the mold
But I hit the note
So I found my path
It's clear for few
This is for us quiet and unsure ones
You're hiding what you are
hold your chin up and you'll find the right path
Don't follow others just adjust
no one is allowed to squelch your flame
The potential is just waiting its actualization
Everything's possible when you find the courage to declare
Your story won't end here
little dude keep it together
 
[Robin:]
They have seen only your shell,
and don't yet know what's inside you
Now hold your chin up, you mustn't get scared
or withdraw and hide
You'll grow up to be stong fearless
 
It takes time and the years will make
you almost quit many times
If I could, I'd carry you
 
They have seen only your shell,
and don't yet know what's inside you
Now hold your chin up, you mustn't get scared
or withdraw and hide
You'll grow up to be stong fearless
 
[Elastinen:]
Now the gang sings: Woo-Woo-Woo
Everybody with me: Woo-Woo-Woo
Once more we go: Woo-Woo-Woo
