​Stronger as We Rise  (c) 2012, 2020, Pamela Woll

Upward on this winding road, forward with these friends
Left a world of hurt below, and we won't go back again
             And if your road is different from mine
             We can still walk together, side by side
             And we get stronger, stronger, stronger as we rise

What is broken can be healed; what is wrong made right
Now I know that hope is real, when I see it in your eyes
             And if your road is different from mine (etc.)

I can sing out loud and clear, with you by my side
No voice is too small to hear, no life too lost to find
             And if your road is different from mine (etc.)
