about

This song is about the pain of watching someone you love who is suffering. You want your most to help them, but there is only so much you can do.

lyrics

I saw you stand in your field
with no sword, with no shield.
Yes, you came here to give,
but they have come here to steal.

Why you gotta be strong love?
You could just find a place to kneel.
Why you gotta be strong love?
The world's not you wound to heal.

And you'd put your hand in a fire
if it would make people feel.
You'd kiss the mouth of liar
until his words became real.

Why you gotta be strong love?
You could just find a place to kneel.
Why you gotta be strong love?
The world's not you wound to heal.

Why you gotta be strong love?
You could just find a place to kneel.
Why you gotta be strong love?
The world's not you wound to heal.
