Strong Enough

(album: I Ain't Movin' - 1994)

Trying to figure out
Just where your life is going
Can you see the picture
In the purple sky?
Silently you're walking
But where are you headin'?

Questions terrorize, ah, yeah
Space inside your mind, ah, yeah

Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why

I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty

They try to take your soul and mind
But you won't let them
Never wear your destiny
Outside your smile
Always talk in riddles
So you keep them guessing

Never criticize, ah, yeah
Keep an open mind, ah, yeah

Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why

I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty

They're holding out their hands
Begging for some time
Can you spare a shilling
Can you spare a life?
You try to give them food
But they just refuse you

Deep down inside, ah, yeah
You know you've tried

Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why

I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty

'Cause are you strong enough?
Strong enough for me?
Strong enough
Strong enough to see

Strong enough
Strong enough to be
'Cause down, down in the city, yeah
Love ain't always pretty

Strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Strong enough to die?
Tell me why

Strong enough for me
Oh, I'm strong enough for you
'Cause down, down in the city, yeah
Love ain't always pretty, no

You're strong enough for me
I'm strong enough for you
You're strong enough to see
That down, down in the city
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Love ain't so pretty
