Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar”

It was just like a song”

“I’ve got some blessings that I don’t deserve
I’ve got some scars, but that’s how you learn
It’s nothing short of a miracle I’m here
I think it over and it doesn’t add up
I know it comes from above
I’ve got miracles on miracles
A million little miracles
Miracles on miracles
Count your miracles
One, two, three, four, I can’t even count ‘em all”
The most relevant parts of the lyrics:
“You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were gray
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me
And no one else can be
What you have been to me, you will always be
You will always be the girl
In my life for all times
Mama, mama, you know I love you
Mama, mama, you’re the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars, yes it is
Mama, I just want you to know,
lovin’ you is like food to my soul”
Truth #17
The most relevant parts of the lyrics:
“As I lay me down, Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause, After giving it my all
Winter storms have come, And darkened my sun
After all that I’ve been through. Who on earth can I turn to?
I look to You. I look to You
After all my strength is gone. In You I can be strong
I look to You. I look to You
And when melodies are gone
In You I hear a song. I look to You.”
