lyrics

I need something stronger
What I’m using now should be stronger by a half
I need something stronger
It used to be the truth
But it’s failed the polygraph

I need some assurance
Some certainty in the face of all that’s wrong
Pulled along in currents
That roil and race
And sweep away foundations
To resist I must be strong
So much stronger than I am

Please be something stronger
I’ve read the news and it keeps getting worse
Please be something better
It’s right now.
There’s no time to rehearse

Every time I hope we
Will rise to the occasion
Every time I think that
I tell myself it’s almost over

We need something larger
Than ourselves to care about
We need something stronger
Than greed, celebrity and lust for power

Every time I hope we
Will rise to the occasion
Every time I think that
I tell myself it’s almost over
