"Strength" - lyrics
Strength
(B. Wilson)
VERSE
Well, they may tell you that forever burns
Heat swells my fingers
Will we ever learn
Well, truth be told
We may grow old in this new world
But to die alone, we will be scared no more
(no more)
Well, I’m a fool to let this flame go out
I’ve been to school
And I know how this all works out
The slow death of an individual
Becomes freedom when you turn the page
CHORUS x2
Self doubt and physical illusion
Bogged down by so much confusion
Pray for the strength to carry on
VERSE 2
Stone cold confusion
And I’m feeling lost
Is the path I’ve chosen the righteous one
I just wanna hold you in my arms
For one more night
And I, will be scared, no more
(no more)
If everything happens for a reason
Then what am I supposed to do
‘Cause I just can’t shake this feeling
Am I, good enough, for the truth (or you)
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Can you hold me down
Like I need you to do
Can you take me as I am
That’s what true love would do
Tryin to get ready, praying for my strength back
Is it lying here with you?
I could feel it, is it true?
'Cause I saw the light shining down on you
Or so I thought...
BREAKDOWN x4
I sing it in the morning and I sing it in the day
I pray for the strength to carry on and find a better way
'Cause
CHORUS x2
Pray for the Strength to carry on x3
