[Verse 1] They said I was small I kept that stone In my pocket long enough To know my own I wore their words Like they were true Then I heard my name In a new point of view [Pre-Chorus] Now I count the scars Like gold in my hand Every bruise had a lesson I can understand What they broke in me I built back right I learned how to stand By the edge of the fight [Chorus] Turn it strong Turn it strong What they called a wound Becomes my song Turn it strong Turn it strong I was never broken I was becoming strong [Verse 2] As a kid, I was quiet Kept my face down low But the truth came up When the kind ones showed One said, “You’re beautiful” One said, “I believe” They saw the fire in me That I could not see And all those voices That tried to brand my skin Were just hurt people Talking from within [Pre-Chorus] Now I hear the same pain In the ones who sneer Someone named them empty So they pass it here I don’t wear their fear Like it’s my birth I let better words Rewrite my worth [Chorus] Turn it strong Turn it strong What they called a wound Becomes my song Turn it strong Turn it strong I was never broken I was becoming strong [Verse 3] If I’m stuck in a loop I don’t blame the door I look at the pattern Then I ask for more In the gym, I learned You don’t grow by chance You feed what’s missing Then you take a stance In love, I saw I could rescue or run But the protector in me Was a job I’d learned too young At work, I found You can’t fake the spark If you want to understand people You have to know their marks [Bridge] So I changed the map From shame to skill From “not enough” To “I can still” If I’ve been hurt I can still heal If I’ve been unknown I can still feel I let other eyes Show me my light Then I took it home And made it mine [Final Chorus] Turn it strong Turn it strong What they called a wound Becomes my song Turn it strong Turn it strong I was never broken I was becoming strong Turn it strong Turn it strong What they called a wound Becomes my song Turn it strong Turn it strong I see my true self And I stand strong
