Pity the fool, it's hard but he broke a rule
And that isn't done, somehow, someday, brother will use a gun
Just walking the town, just painting it sad
It's bringing me down, it's driving me mad
Woman is away from me We will be strong, we will be strong
I know we have the strength to carry on
We have the strength, I know my rights from wrong
I know you've lost, I've won We will be stronger, we will be strong
And getting stronger every day
Believe me when I say it
There is no other way to convey it No other way, you clown, your thoughtfulness has brought us down
And that isn't right, that we should walk alone on the streets at night
Just checking the time, walking that very fine line
The humor is black, the plan is attack
Now woman is away from me but we will be strong We will be strong, we will be strong
I know we have the strength to carry on
We have the strength, I know my rights from wrong
I know you've lost, I've won We will be stronger, we will be strong
And getting stronger every day
Believe me when I say it
There is no other way to convey it Down on your luck, the shock it has struck
The weak ones will die, the questions are why, why?
Does anybody hear? Does anybody understand?
Let me make it clear, now's the time to take a stand
Now woman is away from me but we will make it strong We will be strong, we will be strong
I know we have the strength to carry on
We have the strength, I know my rights from wrong
I know you've lost, I've won We will be stronger, we will be strong
And getting stronger every day
Believe me when I say it
There is no other way to convey it We will be strong, we will, we will be strong
We will be, we will be strong
We will, we will be strong, we, we will, we, we will be
We, we will, we will be strong, we will be strong
