For a little while
I was living wild.
I let my heart run where it wanted to.
I was running scared,
You were always there,
Standing by me, just like you always do.
Guess it took some time,
For me to come around,
To see what I'd lost,
And what I had found.
[Chorus:]
I got a stronghold,
I got a will to love.
I got a stronghold on this love.
I got a stronghold,
This time I won't let go.
I'll keep a stronghold on this love.
I got a stronghold on this love.
Many, many times
I would fantasize,
So much I wanted just to be with you.
Wishing it could be
Only you and me.
So clear, I'd see us like a picture book.
Now I know that I,
Don't have to pretend.
And my hands don't lie,
As they hold you in.
[Chorus:]
I got a stronghold,
I got a will to love.
I got a stronghold on this love.
I got a stronghold,
This time I won't let go.
I'll keep a stronghold on this love.
I know you could break away.
But I know,
I'll be devastated by the blow.
For me, there's no other way,
And I know, I know…
Now I know what's mine,
And I won't pretend.
And my hands don't lie
As they hold you in.
[Chorus x3:]
I got a stronghold,
I got a will to love.
I got a stronghold on this love.
I got a stronghold,
This time I won't let go.
I got a stronghold on this love.
