Des’ree - Strong Enough Lyrics

Trying to figure out just where your life is goin'.
Can you see the picture, in the purple sky?
Silently you're walkin', but where are you headin'?
Questions terrorize, space inside your mind.

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, keep an open mind.

They're holding 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, you know you've tried.
