I thought this song would be over a million views by nowI have watched it a few hundred times my self! People missing out! What a great song! I will be back a hundred more times!
Holy smokes, this woman has reduced this “tough” 57 year-old man to mush. So much for being a tough guy. I heard this song for the first time two days ago. She evokes such beautiful vulnerability while simultaneously belting the lyric “as weak as a man, I am,” out of this stratosphere and I’m completely blown away and humbled. A magnificently beautiful woman and soul that shines brightly and radiates throughout the world with strength and grace while addressing the difficult topic of the injustice of the abuse of women by men. I can’t stop crying and it feels cathartic, cleansing and healing. She makes me more aware of these imbalances, power struggles, and injustices and I feel I’ve been truly enlightened. I am grateful to this artist, Goapele for sharing her beauty, vulnerability and strong vocal abilities to make us all more aware of these struggles. And yes, this “tough guy” is still crying. Rick
I thought it was just me that felt this way!!I'm planning on getting the chorus tatted on me this summer..I am only strong as glass..but I'm built to last...and I could break..very meaningful..
I know I'm strong I'll brave the storm I know I can take a few hits You ain't gotta worry bout this Stay in my zone Take care of my home Always got my own But be gentle with me Cause I'm human baby and I break You know I might not make it to the next time baby that you say you're sorry I might go away [Chorus:] Cause I'm only strong as glass They say I'm built to last but I could break Yeah I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so if I break, there's no more I say I'm good when I'm misunderstood I already gave enough, so you can never call my bluff I work with no pay but I'll find a way Cause I don't wanna ask too much But be gentle with me Cause I'm human baby and I break You know I might not make it to the next time baby that you say you're sorry I might....go away [Chorus:] Cause I'm only strong as glass They say I'm built to last but I could break Yeah I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so if I break, there's no more oooooh oh oh Strong as I am Weak as a man I am oooohh I'm gonna stand for as long as I can Cause I am I'm only strong as glass they say I'm built to last but I could break Yeah oooooh oh I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so if I break...there's no more oh oooooh I'm only strong as glass they say I'm built to last but I could break, I could break Hoooo oh ooooh oh ooooh oh Yeah I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so if I break....there's no more oh oooooohhh
Goapele, your song is indeed powerful, moving, honest, and sincere. But while you may have intended it to be an anthem for girls and woman, guys are just as vulnerable and breakable. Thanks for sharing the gift of your music - I find it to be a true blessing!
I truly LOVE this song. The lyrics shows how I feel any many other women at times. We are strong but we are treated like we are invisible. If not cared for we could break. Thank you for sharing this song with world!
I love the sass in the beginning “I know I can take a few hits, you ain’t gotta worry bout this.” Nonetheless, this story reflects my life from beginning to end. I was in high school when I first heard this, and every since then I’ve been attached to this record. I love it 🥰
For me, I think that in life we all start off as strong as glass and as we go through hardship which hurts us, it' starts chipping away at the glass and makes us weak. However as we get through the hardship the chipped parts of glass become replaced by steel and in the end we all become strong because of what we've been through. Being steel makes it easier to get through the hardship and walk away from the people causing us pain. This is a beautiful song that has really touched me
I love this song . I have struggled with my physical , emotional , mental , and sexual abuse that consumed my childhood . I am a 23 year old Artist , Musician , And Visionary from Norfolk , VA now residing in Los Angeles , CA for school at The La Film School for Film and Recording arts to become a Music Producer for myself and other artist like me . I look up to you Goapele every since I remixed Closer To My Dreams when I was 16 years old . I find myself listening to that song every day , every second , and every minute when I feel like crashing as I have P.T.S.D and Bipolar 1 Disorder . I suffered a lot growing up and now I suffer just to stay out of hospitals and crisis centers like the one i'm in now . Your Artistry is amazing and so beautiful and touching as well as inspiring . Thank you for your Art and I really appreciate you so much for doing all you do for woman and everyone .
I heard this song on the radio this morning then sang it in my head for hours before forgetting it. I've been trying to remember the lyrics for the past 5 hours while I do my work. I can sleep in peace now.
This song is nothing but TRUTH. My girlfriend (a 3 time cancer survivor) and I cried together on this song and it gave us both the strength to get through. Amen! Love you Goapele! Thank you for sharing your gift. Peace and blessings:)
I heard this song for the 1st time today on XM Radio. I've been wearing it out, set on repeat. She looks very natural.... her own authentic beauty.... good for her. No need for weave and excess make-up. Just Goapele... nothing more, nothing less. How refreshing is that. : -)
This song is the definition of what I look for in an woman. Every time I hear this song can't help but think of every good woman in my life! This songs is just so spiritual; humbles me. Thank you Goapele for sharing such a beautiful song with us.

Q
Q
Q
I know I'm strong
I'll brave the storm
I know I can take a few hits
You ain't gotta worry bout this
Stay in my zone
Take care of my home
Always got my own
But be gentle with me
Cause I'm human baby and I break
You know I might not make it to the next time baby
that you say you're sorry I might go away
[Chorus:]
Cause I'm only strong as glass
They say I'm built to last but I could break
Yeah I'm only strong as glass
and I am all I have so if I break, there's no more
I say I'm good when I'm misunderstood
I already gave enough, so you can never call my bluff
I work with no pay but I'll find a way
Cause I don't wanna ask too much
But be gentle with me
Cause I'm human baby and I break
You know I might not make it to the next time baby
that you say you're sorry
I might....go away
[Chorus:]
Cause I'm only strong as glass
They say I'm built to last but I could break
Yeah I'm only strong as glass
and I am all I have so if I break,
there's no more oooooh oh oh
Strong as I am
Weak as a man I am oooohh
I'm gonna stand for as long as I can
Cause I am
I'm only strong as glass they say
I'm built to last but I could break
Yeah oooooh oh
I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so
if I break...there's no more oh oooooh
I'm only strong as glass they say
I'm built to last but I could break, I could break
Hoooo oh ooooh oh ooooh oh
Yeah I'm only strong as glass and I am all I have so
if I break....there's no more oh oooooohhh
