美國歌壇天后［惠妮休斯頓］──流行／R&B抒情曲──［I Didnt Know My Own Strength／我不知道自己的力量］

Mmh, yeah

Lost touch with my soul
I had no where to turn
I had no where to go
Lost sight of my dream
Thought it would be the end of me, ah

I thought Id never make it through
I had no hope to hold on to, I
I thought I would break

I didnt know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didnt know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didnt know my own strength, ohh

Found hope in my heart
I found the light to light
My way outta the dark
Found all that I need
Here inside of me, ohh

I thought Id never find my way
I thought Id never lift that weight
I thought I would break

I didnt know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didnt know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didnt know my own strength

There were so many times, I
Wondered how Id get through the night, I
Thought I took all I could take

I didnt know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain, ohh
I didnt know my own strength
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
I hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didnt know my own strength, mmh

I was not built to break
No, no
I got to know my own strength
