I'd Rather Be Strong Lyrics - 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
