about

Stronger is the third out of four single releases by Brother Kestrel in 2021. Written several years before it was recorded, Stronger is a sincere and emotive reflection on a time when things were not as strong as they are now. Featuring only guitars, strings, and vocals, Brother Kestrel seeks to open his heart through the honest lyrics as he recalls how he grew through a difficult time.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
When my valleys were much deeper
Than the peaks that I once saw far ahead
You lay beside me on that mountain
Hearing the crow’s song in the trees overhead

[Verse 2]
Try to hold it all together
Losing track of all this time
Which of us needed the saving?
Hidden rainfall left behind

[Chorus 1]
But wait, let me say
I was doing all I could to stay awake
The sky grew dark, the ocean swayed
Still you called my name and held me in place
You’re so much stronger than me in so many ways

[Verse 3]
I was facing troubled waters
I didn’t know that I had swam out this far
Every step, you were beside me
Keeping fire alight inside my fearful heart

[Chorus 2]
But wait, could you stay?
You’ve done much more than I could ever do or say
And in the dark, I call your name
And I’m so sorry that I tried to run away
You’re so much stronger than me in so many ways

[Verse 4/Outro]
I never thought that I would make it
But here I am to stand beside you evermore
I won’t forget the storms behind me
Because of them I am much stronger than before
