Story Behind The Song

While going through chemotherapy I struggled to remain optimistic at times. Music was my catalyst of choice to encourage myself to accept the current reality and to see the future through a hopeful lens.

Song Description

The chorus echoes the admission of vulnerability, resilience and acceptance of the present. It speaks of challenges and even regret while ending affirming "I'm going to make it!" which we all aspire remain focused on during those challenging times.

Lyrics

I been weak
I been strong
I been goin through changes
Repeat:
Seen the days
where the sun was shining brighter.
Lost a step
In the flame of the fire.
Went to war
Unprepared & inspired.
I'm gonna make it
Found some strength
Not content with survival.
Seen my past & for parts I was shamed.
Ups & downs
Part of life
We're all just
Going through changes
I been weak
I been strong
I been goin through changes
Repeat:
Turned my back,
Unresolved left behind me
Took some time away
To find where I stood
Knew in time
Problems caused by would find me
I gotta face it
Pictures made
By the angle we take it
Saw the games
That I played for their worth
Second birth
I rehearsed every step now
I gotta trace it
Bridge:
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
This is my affirmation
While I'm waiting
For change to come
Never forsake it
Be grateful for where you are
Realize that change is not far away
Away
Just know a change is coming.
I been weak
I been strong
I been goin through changes
Repeat:
