Lyrics
Strong
By
Barbara Christine Bechler
The time has come to
bring them down
those who take what we own
yeah, I can hear it everywhere...yeah
People lose the freedom of their minds
Only a matter of time
Till We step on the Battlefield
Stop protecting what we love the most
Your heart is pure lets give it toast
With a comet coming crashing on their heads
Stop giving in and lets dish out
What they dished us they just missed out
On The precious jewels they up and left for dead
Chorus
Ya gotta be strong
keep your faith
don't throw in the towel
Don't throw it away,
They're stealing our souls
we've got nothing to say, yeah just---
Stop your weepin' to those who are blind
Give them meaning to those who are blind
Give them what we're really here for
Ya Gotta Be Strong
Verse
Never take my words for granted
if it's done by me I've planned it
that's just rooted deep in my beliefs
for the true and pure were bringin' conservation
if your facing what I'm facing
listen to my proclamation
listen to my proclamation
Chorus
Ya gotta be strong
keep your faith
don't throw in the towel
Don't throw it away,
They're stealing our souls
we've got nothing to say, yeah just
Stop your weepin' to those who are blind
Left behind ---give them meaning
Only a matter of time
Ya gotta be strong
keep your faith
don't throw in the towel
Don't throw it away,
There stealing our souls
we've got nothing to say, yeah just
Ya gotta be strong
keep your faith
don't throw in the towel
Don't throw it away,
They're stealing our souls
we've got nothing to say, yeah just
Stop your weepin' to those who are blind oh
Oooh, give them meaning to those who are blind
Give them what we're really here for
(Ya gotta be strong)
