Tom Whitehorse, Matthew Henson - Don't Act so Tough Lyrics

Hear that lion roar
Like a thunderstorm
It’s a siren’s call
To quicken up the pace
Cut the fat away
It’s rotten to the core
And when the road gets long
Keep pushing on

And don’t act so tough
Don’t act so tough
Just let the love wash over ya
Don’t act so tough
Don’t act so tough
I got the strength to carry both of us

Now if this life of yours
Feels like there’s nothing more
To lose
We’ll turn it gold from rust
A modern Lazarus
Oh, like in spring a bloom
But when the road gets long
Keep holding on

And don’t act so tough
Don’t act so tough
Just let the love wash over ya
Don’t act so tough
Don’t act so tough
I got the strength to carry both of us

I wanna raise you up
No higher strength than love
I wanna raise you up, up, up, up
And don’t act so tough
Don’t act so tough
Just let the love wash over ya
Don’t act so tough
Don’t act so tough
I got the strength to carry both of us
