about

Give me strength...

lyrics

You've got to be so strong to face the new day
You've got to be so weak that you can't last
you've got to be so tough to swear at Jesus
'Cause Jesus knows that you ain't gonna last

Those of you awaking in the new day
Often find the strength to keep things clear
Now that I'm awaking in the darkness
By the dusk the choice is very clear

I want to wake in the light this impossible summer
I want to wake just to find
Recompense with their mother
Who is fine

What do children think of in the new day
When they find that I'm no longer there?
Where do both those children find the new words
Picking them like shapes out of the hot stifling air?

I want to be with you and the kids
When you climb sand dunes
I want to wake just in time
When you arrive in the morning
I'm not fine
