“ "Stronger,” in which Usher deals with the grief that hit him after the 2012 death of his stepson Kile Glover, uses cloud-borne piano riffs and a gospel choir to brightly underline its message of resilience.“- Rolling Stones
[Intro]
Been through hell, now I'm hell proof
Pouring cups of whiskey to get through it
Oh sweet child of mine, gone way too soon
Lost myself and lost my faith too
[Chorus]
I've had my share of ups and downs
I've had my share of down and outs
Baptized in a river and almost drowned
That's when I figured out
I'm stronger than ever now, stronger than ever now
I'm stronger than ever now, stronger than ever now
Stronger than ever now
Ohh
[Verse]
Walk through fire now I'm fireproof
Forever wear these scars like tattoos
Finally found paradise right in my view
And its killing me that I can't share it with you
[Chorus]
I've had my share of ups and downs
I've had my share of down and outs
Baptized in a river and almost drowned
That's when I figured out
I'm stronger than ever now, stronger than ever now
I'm stronger than ever now, I'm stronger than ever now
(Stronger than ever now)
[Verse]
Though you're gone you still live in my mind
The only thing we ran out of is time
Since you left I ain't been quite the same
I wonder if you miss me, do I make you proud
Know you're watching me, I feel your spirit
I keep you right by my side
I'm stronger than ever now, far from perfect
Life will knock you down, get back up
Fight for whats worth it
Be strong enough, I know its easier said than done
[Bridge]
Stronger than ever now
I been through it, now stronger
Stronger now, hey stronger now
All that I been through some how I found my way out
Long as I believe in me, I know I can make it
I know you'll make it, cause you're stronger
Stronger than ever now
Stronger
