Lyrics:

Verse 1:

Today's the day I'm gonna take it all away
The hurt, the pain, the suffering
Don't mind if I get caught up in the rain
Wash off my sorrow to get some clarity
To focus on what keeps me me to a path where I am free

Pre-Chorus:

Take off the mask I've been swayed to put on
To let love live in me and just push on
The sun won't shine if I don't shine
So I'm on a mission out for mine

Chorus:

I'm stronger now, I'm wiser now
Don't think that you can take me down
The roots are strong in this tree
I choose love and it starts with me
Said I'm smarter now, I'm thicker now
Don't think that you can take me down
The roots are strong in this tree
I choose love and it starts with me

Verse 2:

Today's the day I'm gonna heal my open wounds
Pick up the pieces that make me, who I intend to be
Let all my struggles refine my character
Cause only I can be free if I allow it to be

Pre-Chorus:

Take off the mask I've been swayed to put on
To let love live in me and just push on
The sun won't shine if I don't shine
So I'm on a mission out for mine

Chorus 2x:

I'm stronger now, I'm wiser now
Don't think that you can take me down
The roots are strong in this tree
I choose love and it starts with me
Said I'm smarter now, I'm thicker now
Don't think that you can take me down
The roots are strong in this tree
I choose love and it starts with me
