God Give Me The Strength (To Carry On) Lyrics by The Pretty Things

1999

Well, I was the boy who grew into manhood
With the rhythm 'n' blues as a bible for life
In the glare of the lights, with the tape I was rollin'
The boy became man, the man took awhile
With the world in your hands, you've got youth as your heartbeat
Every move that was planned was a happening thing
Sweet smell of success, no stranger to this boy
And the road to access, still a feel streets away
The time it has come when mortality beckons
And reality strikes you with the force of a blow
So the dream disappears in a blazе of lost glory
And you're left on your own with nothing to show
God give mе the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
With nothing to lose but nothing to fight for
And yesterday's blues take a whole of my heart
I remember a time when the future was brighter
And I first saw your face in the palace of dreams
Down the sunny King's Road, tryin' to make my connection
In a Lincoln coupé set to drive me away
I was shoulder to shoulder with all the young heroes
And reached for the colours of a King for a day
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
If a moment of time can be captured forever
Make mine black and white, so sharp to the eye
For the strength in my heart and illusions unbroken
For the song on my lips and the love in your eyes
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
God give me the strength to carry on
