The time and strain and trouble Ain't got nothing on me I am stronger with my steps these days I am workin' on how to be And you, you always showed me The good in everything You never forced your will upon me And you taught me how to better see But there's a loudness there outside our door And it feels time to shut it out And crawl back into this American night I will run my hands along your back The time and strain and trouble Ain't got nothing on me You see, I am stronger in my ways these days' I am workin' on how to be I am workin' on how to be I am workin' on how to be
