about

I was thinking of James Brown when doing this one. It's not funky, but it's got the "Please, please!" and I mean it when I sing, "The strength of love can pull you through."

lyrics

Strength of Love - song by Elyce and Benjamin Russell
© The Clear Blue Enterprise (socan)

Please…

Don’t put me down, I’m on your side
Tell me what’s wrong, what hurts inside
Please

The pain won’t stay, your fears can go
Open up and say what you don’t know
Please

Let me help you, don’t push and shove
I can show you the strength of love
Please, please

The strength of love can pull you through
The strength of love, come on
It’s up to you
Please

I know you’re hurting and I can see your pain
And I want to help you, I want to help you
Get back on your feet again
‘Cause I need you, I love you
And you know, if there’s one thing in this world
If there’s one thing, one single thing
The only thing that means anything
That thing - it’s called love
The strength of love

But you gotta help me
You know it’s really up to you
You gotta choose
You’ve got so much to lose
So much to gain
Come on, you can do it
Yes, yes, yes

The strength of love can pull you through…

Please

The strength of love is on your side (yes it is)
The strength of love (don’t be crazy)
Don’t run and hide
Please

I’m here and I’m holding out my hand
I know you’ll understand, I know it
I believe in you
Reach out, reach out and touch me
I love you and that’s all that counts
That’s the strength, yes that’s the strength
That’s the strength of love

Come on, you can do it
You can do it, you can do it, you can do it
Yes you can (yes, reach out and touch me)

With the strength of love and me
