Give Me Strength

I choked back tears today

‘Cause I can’t begin to say

How much you’ve shaped this boy

These last ten years or more

My friends we’ve seen it all

Triumphs to drunken falls

And our bones are broken still

But our hearts are joined until

Time slips its tired hand

Into our tired hands

We’ve years ’til that day

And so much more to say

You give the strength to me

A strength I never had

I was a mess you see

I’d lost the plot so bad

You dragged me up and out

Out of the darkest place

There’s not a single doubt

When I can see your faces

My friends we’ve seen it all

When it made no sense at all

You dare to light my path

And found the beauty in the aftermath

Let me hold you up

Like you held me up

It’s too long to never say this

You must know I’ve always thought

You give the strength to me

A strength I never had

I was a mess you see

I’d lost the plot so bad

You dragged me up and out

Out of the darkest place

There’s not a single doubt when

I can see your faces

You give the strength to me

A strength I never had

I was a mess you see

I’d lost the plot so bad

You dragged me up and out

Out of the darkest place

There’s not a single doubt when

I can see your faces
