Strength

Strength of a flower, pushing up through the earth
Strength of the rain, soaking into the ground
Strength of a fish, swimming against the flow
Strength of the sun, melting the winter snow

Like the strength of a flower, pushing up through the earth
Like the strength of the rain, soaking into the ground
Like the strength of a fish, swimming against the flow
Like the strength of the sun, melting the winter snow

Like the strength of a bird, flying into the wind
Like the strength of the wind, lifting the desert sand
Like the strength of the tide, shaping the rocks and land
Like the strength of the ice, carving the mountainside

How wonderful this world
A fragment of a fiery sun
How wonderful this life
How fragile and how bold

Like the strength of a man, who fights for his family
Like the strength of a friend, who carries you when you're weak
Like the strength of the heart, bearing the pain of birth
Like the strength of the love, healing the sons of earth

How wonderful this world
A fragment of a fiery sun
How wonderful this life
How fragile and how bold

Like the strength of a man, who fights for his family
Like the strength of a friend, who carries you when you're weak
Like the strength of the heart, bearing the pain of birth
Like the strength of the love, healing the sons
Healing the sons of Earth
