Okay, let me say this quick, before I start to cry
You're the only one that I gave it to, the one I fantasized for
And time away from you has taught me
What I should have known
That this hole I'm trying to fill with another, yeah, it's grown
And I got your package
But when I tried to write back I bailed
See, trying to express the future, sometimes language fails
And over this time I've learned
My life force is increased by knowing you
Every door that closes, another one opens
Strange but true
Strange but true

No regrets because I forget the unfamiliar faces
Those petty lies and alibis, just gold diggers chasing
Dreams of sovereignty, they tried to come between you and me
A curse therein set forces a chain of events
That only freed me when I remembered
Where I was and who I am
The only Prince that will ever rule this holy land
All understand and all stand under this affirmation now
By the power invested in me by God
All negativity bows
Strange but true, let's see what you can do

You may have lost me, but I found myself
The ones who love me without condition, this is my wealth
And with these words I will win
Repeat them over and over again
All understand and all stand under this affirmation now
By the power invested in me by God
All negativity bows
All negativity bows
All negativity bows

Strange but true, let's see what you can do
Strange but true, let's see what you can do
All negativity bows

(Strange but true)
(Strange but true)
Strange but true (true, true)
All negativity bows

(Strange but true, let's see what you can do)
All negativity bows
(All negativity bows)
Strange but true
Strange but true

(Strange but true)
(Strange but true)
Strange but true
