Sheila Nicholls - How Strong

There's a nature we innately understand that we rarely listen to

How strong am I,
I know the legacies I live within,
how strong am I
to use what I've learned with discipline
How strong am I
to take this resistance and make it free
how strong are we

Can you still hear me thro' all these distractions
and can you still see me tho all this smoke,
And do you have purpose or you just paying off mortgage
and do you take rich drugs or poor drugs
to hide your ache for something more

How strong are we,
we know the legacies we live within, how strong are we
to meet each other thro' this division.
How strong are we
to rise beyond these blinded leaders
how strong are we

Who spent the money, and who pays the price
to not be responsible must be so nice.
Did you hear about karma, and how it comes back,
too late to wear glasses when your sky turns black.

How strong are we we know the legacies we live within,
how strong are we
to meet each other thro' this division
How strong are we to take this resistance and make it free
How strong are we

There's a nature we innately understand that we rarely listen to
