lyric analysis (digital version) about:

a. Social Function
The meaning contained in the song Strong from One Direction is someone who is in
love but not afraid of love, someone who is ready to accept the pain of loving,
because for him being with someone he loves will be his own strength.
So the social function of this song is the meaning of this song is we have to be strong.
To whoever our love is, it is a strength for us.
b. Structure
(Verse)

Zayn:
My hands, your hands

Tied up like two ships

Drifting, weightless

Waves try to break it

I'd do anything to save it

Why is it so hard to save it ?

Liam:
My heart, your heart, sit tight like book ends,

Pages between us, written with no ints

So many words we're not saying

Don't want to wait till it's gone. You make me strong

(Chorus)

I'm sorry, if I say, I need you,

But I don't care I'm not scared of love

Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker

Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong?

That you make me strong

 (Verse)

Louis:
Think of, how much,
Love that's been wasted
People always, trying to escape it 
Move on to stop their heart breaking
But there's nothing I'm running from
You make me strong

Back to III

(Bridge)
Zayn:
So baby, ho-old on, to my heart,
Need you to keep me from falling apart,
I'll always ho-old on,
Cause you make me strong

(Chorus)
Back to III (3x)

Harry:
That you make me strong...
