Stayed Strong by EMILY COLE Lyrics

At eight years old
Hit like tornado
By a hidden threat
That started to grow
He's in a war
He can't ignore
Confused and scared
But not alone

His body's weakened
Prayed through the screamin'
When it got hard
He kept marching on

He stayed strong
Through it all never gave up
He stayed strong
Never looked down only looked up
He stayed strong
Showed life was worth living for
Fought everyday he's a soldier
He stayed strong
He stayed strong
25 weeks
Seemed years
New scars
A lot of tears
A kidney gone
But not hope
He knows he'll make tomorrow

His body's weakened
Prayed through the screamin'
When it got hard
He kept marching on

He stayed strong
Through it all never gave up
He stayed strong
Never looked down only looked up
He stayed strong
Showed life was worth living for
Fought everyday he's a soldier
He stayed strong
He stayed strong

The community believed
With their help
There’d be victory
He stayed strong
Through it all never gave up
He stayed strong
Never looked down only looked up
He stayed strong
Showed life was worth living for
Fought everyday he's a soldier
He stayed strong
He stayed strong
