Lord gimme strength tonight!



School boy barely seventeen

He's got to play it tough, he's got to play it mean

Locked and loaded on the street

He's got a trigger finger for anyone that he meets, oh oh



He's seen it on the T.V., the hero stands alone

He can't turn to anyone and it cuts him to the bone



Chorus:

There is strength in numbers - there is strength in love

Strength in numbers - there is strength in love

Strength in numbers - you can hide but you can't run

Hand to hand we stand together, strength enough for everyone



Powder money makes the law

And no one wants to break the spell at all, not at all

It seems that push has come to shove

And dirty romance takes the place of love - where is love?



Grid lock doing ninety, trying to get ahead

Got to fight my way through all this traffic in my head



(chorus)



(Solo)



We've been told to walk away from anyone that doesn't look the same

Not the same

What's the reason? Who's to blame? Who's the first to finally break the chain?

C'mon we're breaking the chains



Some will call for justice, some will scream for blood

Some will run for cover, but it won't do you no good



There is strength in numbers - there is strength in love

Strength in numbers - there is strength in love

Strength in numbers - you can hide but you can't run

Strength in numbers - strength enough for everyone



Strength in numbers - can you feel the strength in love

Strength in numbers - don't you need the strength in love

Strength in numbers - you can hide, you can hide

Strength in numbers - strength enough for everyone



Strength in numbers - there is strength, there is strength in love

Strength in numbers... (to fade)
