I am STRONG because I am weak...<br /> I am kind because I am mean...<br /> I am a lover because I&#039;m a fighter...<br /> I am fearless because I&#039;ve been afraid...<br /> I am WISE because I have been foolish...<br /> ...I live because I&#039;ve died...<br /> ...And LAUGH because I&#039;ve cried...

&quot;This is how we&#039;ll dance when,<br /> When they try to take us down<br /> This is how we&#039;ll sing it.<br /> This is how we&#039;ll stand when,<br /> When they burn our houses down.<br /> This is what will be.<br /> Oh, glory.&quot;<br /> - Let the Flames Begin by Paramore
