God Give Me the Strength Songtext
von The Pretty Things

Well I was the boy who went to manhood
With the rhythm and blues as a bible for life
And the glare of the lights
With the tape I was rolling
The boy became man
The man took a wife

With the world in your hands
You got youth as your heartbeat
Every move that was planned
Was happening there
Sweet snarelets sing sense
No stranger to this boy
And road to sense
Still a few streets away


But the time it has come
When mortality withers
And reality strikes you
With the force of a blow
So the day disappears
In a place of lost glory
And you′re left on your own
With nothing to show

God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on

With nothing to lose
And nothing to fight for
And yesterday's blues
Take a hold of my heart
I remember a time
When the future was brighter
When I first saw your face
In the palace of dreams

Down the sunny kings road
Tryna make my connection
In the link of the fate
Set to drive me away
I was shoulder to shoulder
With all the young heroes
And we each wore the colours
Of the king for a day


God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on

If a moment in time
Can be captured forever
Make mine black and white
So shock to the eye
Full of strength in my heart
And illusions unbroken
For the sun on my lips
And the love in your eyes

God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry onG
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on

If a moment in time
Can be captured forever
Make mine black and white
So shock to the eye
Full of strength in my heart
And illusions unbroken
For the sun on my lips
And the love in your eyes
