Sophie Pentecost- Strong Enough

1st Verse
She’s left home alone
she is not with her family,
has no one to turn to
Still laid out on the floor
she is on the floor by herself
What were the words that he told her that she was?
he said something cruel to her
The bruises on her arm are just a scratch today
First verse giving an idea of the abuse she is suffering ie: he's verbally and physically abusive to her. and the first part shows how she copes with the pain.

Chorus
She is
not strong enough x3
To get through today
Not strong enough
Not old enough
Not wise enough to just walk away
she doesnt have the strength within herself to be able to get away from him, his abusive behavior had obviously sapped away all the willpower and inner strength she had.


2nd Verse
Now she’s alone,
the tears roll down her cheeks
she’s sad and lonely Her hands are still shaking from shielding her face
Suddenly all alone when she needs someone the most
Then the voice inside her head softly calls her name And says
She's in a state from a post attack and from nowhere shes suddenly got this strength too leave him and be free of the torture he putsd open her.


Chorus
Your strong enough (x3)
To get through today
You’re strong enough
You’re old enough
You’re wise enough To just walk away
Its like her inner strength is talking too her and telling her that she does have the power inside her to leave him.


3rd Verse
Seven years of torture
And its time to fly away
Like a bird, you spread your wings And fly your life away
You do it by
Singing (x3) Your life away
Seven years being mentioned emphasises how long the abuse has being going on, and this explains her lack of strength at the begining of the song, by 'singing her life away' it shows that she is getting freedom through singing.
