Strong Lyrics by Carrie Compere, Chris McCarrell, Rob Rokicki

The Lightning Thief (Original Cast Recording) [Deluxe Edition]

2017

[SALLY]
I can't tell you all my secrets
[PERCY]
Maybe you should start with one
[SALLY, spoken]
You're right.​
(sung)
I'll show you where I met your dad
He'd be proud of his son
[PERCY, spoken]
Who cares?
(sung)
We're better off without him
[SALLY, spoken]
No.​
(sung)
It's time you found out more about him
[PERCY, spoken]
Wow, look at the size of those waves.​
[SALLY, spoken]
Fire's going. Somebody needs a marshmallow, and they're blue! Don't tell me you're too old for blue food.​
[PERCY]
You met Dad on this beach?
[SALLY]
I first saw him in the water
Coming out of the morning mist
He was handsome, strong
And before too long
You came to exist
[PERCY, spoken]
And then he ditched us.​
(sung)
No coming home for dinner
Yeah, he sounds like a real winner
[SALLY, spoken]
Percy, he didn't have a choice. He wanted to meet you, and he warned me that things might be hard if... you were like him.​
[PERCY, spoken]
Was he a screw up too? Sorry, mom. If I was only normal.​
[SALLY, spoken]
Hey.​
(sung)
Blue food isn't normal
Blue food is strange
And that's why it's my favorite
I never want to change
To make it boring orange or green
Why be blah when there's aquamarine?
Normal is a myth
Everyone has issues they're dealing with
[PERCY, spoken]
Mom, if you're weird, you're weak.​
[SALLY]
That's where you're wrong
The things that make you different
Are the very things that make you
Strong
So, be strong
(spoken)
You'll see, you're destined for great things
[PERCY, spoken]
The only thing I seem to be destined for is detention.
(sung)
I can't focus
I stink at school
My A.D.D. gets the best of me
Dyslexia: not cool
[SALLY]
Just hang on, son
One day you'll find
You'll leave that boring little life behind
[PERCY & SALLY]
Normal is a myth
Everyone has issues they're dealing with
[SALLY]
And there's a place
You need to go
Where you belong
Where the things that make you different
Are the things that make you special
Special like your father
Yes, Percy, you are special
Like food the color blue
All the things that make you, you
Are the things that will make you
Strong
[PERCY & SALLY]
So be strong
