Lyrics
Lost touch with my soul
I had nowhere to run, I had nowhere to go
Lost sight of my dream
Thought it would be the end of me
I thought I'd never make it through
I had no one to hold on to
I, I thought I might break
I didn't know my own strength
And I crashed down, I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
Pulled myself back up
Held my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn't know my own strength
Found hope in my heart
I found the light to light my way out of the dark
Found all that I need, yes
(Lord, here inside of me)
Here inside of me, yes
I thought I'd never find my way
I thought I'd never lift that weight
I, I thought I might break
I didn't know my own strength (My own strength)
I crashed down, I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn't know my own strength (My own strength)
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I pulled myself back up
Held my head up high
I was not built to break
Didn't know my own strength (My own strength)
There were so many times I
Wondered how I'd get through the night, I
Thought I took all that I could take
Didn't know, didn't know
I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know
I got through all the pain
Oh Lord, oh
I didn't know my own strength
(Survived my darkest hour)
Yes, I did
(My faith kept me alive)
Yes, I did
(Pulled myself back up)
I held my head up high (Held my head up high)
I got through all the pain
Yeah, oh, let me tell you
I didn't know, I didn't know
My mama said I was not built to break
Dionne said I was not built to break
Clive said come on back and sing you're not built to break
Your love said
Your love said I was not built to break
Oprah said, "Girl, do you know you're loved?"
Now I know my own strength
