Listen to the MP3 of this song lyric

My emotions,
like leaves on a tree,
are ripped to shreds in this violent storm
I must run to find some shelter.
Shelter to protect me from harm
As I look up into your dark eyes,
I see flashes of bright ligtening
Chills run up and down my spine,
The howl of the wind is so frightening

How to be strong, when the river is churning
How to be strong, in the midst of a storm
How to be strong, when you feel like nothing
How to be strong, How to be strong

There's a heartbreak around the corner,
I don't want to turn, I'm afraid what I'll face
I tried to run from the noise and confusion,
but I can't hind, can't escape this place
Because it's a bad, bad, bad situation,
I'm in trouble no matter what I do
I keep meeting up with resistance,
and the resistance is you

How to be strong, when the river is churning
How to be strong, in the midst of a storm
How to be strong, when you feel like nothing
How to be strong, How to be strong

And the wind is tearing at the branches,
The tree holds firm when the roots are deep,
The tree holds firm when the roots are deep

Can't you see we're in an uphill battle,
and there's trouble no matter what we do
You keep meeting up with resistance,
and the resistance is you

How to be strong, when the river is churning
How to be strong, in the midst of a storm
How to be strong, when you feel like nothing
How to be strong, How to be strong
