Pity the fool
It's hard, but he broke a rule
And that isn't done
Somehow, someday, brother will use a gun
Just walking the town
Just painting it sad
It's bringing me down
It's driving me mad
Woman is away from me

[Chorus]
We will be strong, we will be strong
I know we have the strength to carry on
We have the strength
I know my rights from wrong
I know you've lost, I've won
We will be stronger
We will be strong
And getting stronger every day
Believe me when I say it
There is no other way to convey it

No other way, you clown
Your thoughtfulness has brought us down
And that isn't right
That we should walk alone on the streets at night
Just checking the time
Walking that very fine line
The humor is black
The plan is attack
Now woman is away from me
But we will be strong

[Chorus]

Down on your luck
The shock, it has struck
The weak ones will die
The questions are "Why? Why?"
Does anybody hear?
Does anybody understand?
Let me make it clear
Now's the time to take a stand
Now woman is away from me
But we will make it strong

[Chorus]

We will be strong
We will,
We will be strong
We will be,
We will be strong
We will,
We will be strong
We,
We will,
We,
We will be,
We,
We will,
We will be strong
We will be strong
