I Didn't Know My Own Strength

I was online early this morning (its like 1 am here hehe) and noticed that Whitney is coming out with a new album. I went to rhapsody to check out the new album and I must say I am happy that this woman who has been through so much is finally getting her life in order, way to go! There is one song that she has on her album and it is called "I didn't know my own strength". Its a slow song and I could care less about how it is sung but it is the lyrics that caught me off guard.

Diane Warren wrote the song and I must give her props. The song is very inspirational because of how real the words truly are. Listening to the song I could remember the times where I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders and how every time the world kicked me down I would always get back up stronger and wiser. I am happy to know that after all the beautiful messed up shit ive been through, I have come out one hulluva person.

You truely don't know your own strength until life comes knocking at your door.

I know I got alittle off topic but I am going to post the lyrics because I got inspired to share it with you all. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and I hope you all have a safe and happy Monday. Drive safe getting to work or taking the kids to school!

Love n Peace,
Angel ^_^

Whitney Houston - I Didn’t Know My Own Strength

Lost touch with my soul
I had no where to turn
I had no where 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 hope to hold on to,
I thought I would break

I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and 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
I picked myself back up
Hold 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 life
My way out the dark
Found all that I need
Here inside of me
I thought I’d never find my way
I thought I’d never lift that weight
I thought I would break

I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and 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
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength

There were so many times I
Wondered how I’d get through the night I
Thought took all I could take

I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and 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
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength
