Strong Songtext
von Carrie Compere & Chris McCarrell

I can′t tell you all my secrets
Maybe you should start with one
You're right
I′ll show you where I met your dad
He'd be proud of his son
Who cares?
We're better off without him
No
It′s time you found out
More about him
Wow, look at the size of those waves
Fire′s going. Somebody needs a marshmallow, and they're blue! Don′t tell me you're too old for blue food
You met dad on this beach?
I first saw him in the water
Coming out of the morning mist
He was handsome, strong
And before too long-
You came
To exist
And he ditched us


No coming home for dinner
Yeah, he sounds like a real winner
Percy, he didn′t have a choice. He wanted to meet you, and he warned me that things might be hard if you were like him
Was he a screw up too?
Sorry, mom. If I was only normal-
Hey
Blue food isn't normal
Blue food is strange
And that′s why it's my favorite
I never want it to change
To make it boring orange or green
Why be blah
When there's aquamarine
Normal is a myth
Everyone has issues they′re dealing with
Mom, if you′re weird, you're weak
That′s where you're wrong
The things that make you different
Are the very things that make you
Strong
So, be strong
You′ll see, you're destined for great things
The only thing I seem to be destined for is detention
I can′t focus
I stink at school
My A.D.D. gets the best of me
Dyslexia: not cool
Just hang on son
One day you'll find
You'll leave that boring little life behind
Normal is a myth
Everyone has issues they′re dealing with
And there′s a place
You need to go
Where you belong
Where the things that make you different
Are the things that make you special
Special like your father
Yes, Percy, you are special
Like food the color blue
All the things that make you, you
Are the things
That will make you
Strong
So be strong
