When the night is quiet
And gales are shaking the wires
That's when it reaches up for me
Running its fingers through everything
But you didn't withdraw your hand
When I was down in a freezing ocean
There's a love that withstands
It takes a gentle hand
To be strong
To be strong
To be strong
You must be strong
When the pain accrues
When there is nothing left to lose
You stand on top of the wall
Casting them back where they came from
You didn't withdraw your hand
When I was down in a freezing ocean
There's a love that withstands
It takes a gentle hand
To be strong
To be strong
To be strong
You must be strong
Oh who'll help me now in my weakness?
The tide is over our heads
But there's still hope
You didn't withdraw your hand
When I was down in a freezing ocean
There's a love that withstands
It takes a gentle hand
To be strong
To be strong
To be strong
You must be strong
