I'd Rather Be Strong - April Wine

It’s a sad situation

Alot of hopeless information

On the news

Nothin’s gonna please you

And nothin’s gonna change

Well that’s your view

So many hungry people

It’s a shame and is it legal?

Well it’s a sight

There’s something goin' on

Somethin' we can change

And it’s our right

So I’d rather be strong

In a hopeless situation, yes

I would rather be strong

In a hopeless situation, yes

I would rather be strong

In a hopeless situation

Yes I would, yes I would

Well you can say it’s a shame

And things remain the same

And so it goes

But no one’s gonna hear you

And no one’s gonna see

What doesn’t show

It’d be cause for celebration

If only every nation understood

And helping one another

And doing for the other, what they could

And I’d rather be strong

In a hopeless situation, yes

I would rather be strong

And to show determination, yes

I would rather be strong

In a hopeless situation

Yes I would, yes I would

I’d be a lot better off if I could

Be part of the love

That’s seemingly lost from above

A delicate situation (situation)

Requires contemplation, everyone (everyone)

And someone has to care (someone to care)

When people live in fear of each man’s son (each man’s son)

So I’d rather be strong

In a hopeless situation

Yes, I would rather be strong

In a hopeless situation

Yes, I would rather be strong

In a hopeless situation

Yes, I would, yes, I would

I’d be a lot better off if I could

Be part of the love

That’s seemingly lost from above

I’d rather be strong, ooh yes, I would

Well, I’d rather be strong, yes I would, yes I would, yes I would

Well, I’d rather be strong, ooh yes I would

Well, I’d rather be strong, be strong, yes I would, yes I would

Well, I’d rather be strong, yes I would

Well I’d rather be strong, be strong, yes I would

In a hopeless situation

Yes, I would rather be strong

In a hopeless situation, yes

I would rather be strong

In a hopeless situation

Yes, I would rather be strong

In a hopeless situation, yes

I would rather be strong
