Lyrics
HE SAID
Music & Lyrics by Rändi Fay © 2016
He said I'm not good enough. He said I will never be.
He said I'm not strong enough. He said I should be more like he.
Poison in the sands of time etch away a fragile mind.
Voices whisper in my head echoing all that he said.
Chorus:
Do you fear what he said?
Did you hear what he said?
I'll tell the story, my own words instead
Did you hear what he said?
Do you fear what he said?
I am not what he said
He said I'm not tough enough. He said I will never be.
He said I should give it up. He said to face reality
Poison in the sands of time etch away a fragile mind.
Voices whisper in my head echoing all that he said.
Chorus
The pen is mightier they say
words alone can pierce and slay
Such a dirty game to play
I gave that power now I take away
.
I said, “I am good enough. I'm strong enough. I'm gonna be.”
I said, “I am tough enough, won't give it up. It's my reality.”
