They Are Strong Hands

(album: 37 Everywhere - 2006)

I'm gonna beat you in this human race
Hows a guy get out there with so much to face
I'm a cat in a cage in a rat parade
And I should stay at home
And know no one I know

I can run pretty fast
But so can so many people better than that
What's wrong with us
We've gotta open our doors
And sleep on our floors
And wish for more more more

Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Ain't nobody gonna steal my song
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
No no no

I'm gonna take the long road there
If the short way means I'm settling
Because I'm one who takes his victory
By his patience and his pride
A moment
Of this torment
Makes it worth it
When I see how the story ends: I've made it

Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Ain't nobody gonna steal my song
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
No no no

I turn the radio on to the saddest songs
The memories haunt me
The stereo taunts me
I'm turning down the volume
Singing my own song
Cause I'm so much stronger

Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Nobody's gonna steal my song
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
No no

Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Cause my boy John Beatz got my back
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
No no no

I turn the radio on to the saddest songs
The memories haunt me
The stereo taunts me
I'm turning down the volume
Singing my own song
Cause I'm so much stronger
Hey I'm so much stronger

Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
Ain't nobody gonna bring me down
No
