Lyrics
Trying to figure out just where your life is going
Can you see the picture in the purple sky?
Silently you're walking, but where are you heading?
Questions terrorise, ah, yeah
Space inside your mind, ah, yeah
Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why
I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty
They try to take your soul and mind
But you won't let them
Never wear your destiny, outside your smile
Always talk in riddles, so you keep them guessing
Never criticise, ah, yeah
Keep an open mind, ah, yeah
Are you strong enough for love?
Are you strong enough for peace?
Are you strong enough to die?
Tell me why
I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city
Love ain't always pretty
They're holding their hands, begging for some time
Can you spare a shilling, can you spare a life?
You try to give them food, but they just refuse you
Deep down inside, (deep, deep down)
You know you've tried
Oh,wait, are you strong enough for love
Are you strong enough for peace?
Strong enough to die
Tell me why
I'm strong enough for you
Are you strong enough for me?
'Cause down, down in the city, (deep, deep down)
Love ain't always pretty
'Cause are you strong enough, strong enough for me?
Strong enough, strong enough to see
Strong enough, strong enough to be
'Cause down, down in the city, yeah, yeah, yey
Love ain't always pretty, always
Strong enough for love
Are you strong enough for peace
Strong enough to die
Tell me why
Strong enough for me
Oh, I'm strong enough for you
'Cause down,down in the city
Love ain't always pretty
No, oh
Strong enough for me, (are you strong?)
I'm strong enough for you, (baby you)
Strong enough to see
Down, down in the city, yeah, yeah, yeah, yey
Love ain't so pretty, oh, no
Yoohoo, ooh, ooh, hoo, hoo
Yoo uh ooh hoo hoo
Aw, aw, aw, aw, aw, aw, aw
