🎵 ORDER THE NEW ALBUM: album.link/JustHowStrongYouAre

So often we fight through challenges that feel impossible in the moment. We climb the mountain, survive the storm, push through tragedy - and then move on without ever pausing to look back.

But if you did look back, you'd see just how far you've come. You'd see the strength that's been built in you. You'd see the kind of person you've become. The kind that can now do REALLY hard things.

This song is not about us, it's about you. It's about giving yourself permission to breathe it in, to recognize the trials that have shaped you into someone stronger than you ever imagined.

You deserve to take that bow. You deserve the standing ovation. You deserve the APPLAUSE!

With Love,

Mat & Savanna

APPLAUSE Lyrics:

For every no they ever told you
For every time you thought you should quit
For every curve that life has thrown you
For every swing, for every miss
You finally got your fingers on that dream so out of reach
Now the lights are coming up and they’re all on their feet

Take a bow, take a bow
It’s your standing ovation
Hear the roar of the crowd
It’s your spotlight, so take it
Remember what you had to go through to get here
Every heartbreak, every good, every bad tear
Breathe it all in, take the win when that curtain falls
You deserve the applause

Let ‘em feel the truth you’re singing
Open your heart and let it pour
Show em what it means to keep on believing
And leave ‘em wanting more

Take a bow, take a bow
It’s your standing ovation
Hear the roar of the crowd
It’s your spotlight, so take it
Remember what you had to go through to get here
Every heartbreak, every good, every bad tear
Breathe it all in, take the win when that curtain falls
You deserve the applause
You deserve the applause

You finally got your fingers on that dream so out of reach
Now the lights are coming up and they’re all on their feet

So take a bow, take a bow
It’s your standing ovation
Hear the roar of the crowd
It’s your spotlight, so take it
Remember what you had to go through to get here
Every heartbreak, every good, every bad tear
Breathe it all in, take the win when that curtain falls
You deserve the applause
