Lyrics New Model Army

New Model Army

Weak and Strong

Under cover of the darkness the moon was laughing at the sun

You can’t outshine me here, you can’t outshine me here

I was out the door before I had a chance to think ‘my god what have I done?’

When anger’s stronger than fear, anger’s stronger than fear

And there’s a tangle of roots around our feet

We’re tied to each other and to the ground

And everything I learned turned out to be wrong

And the strong are so weak and the weak are so strong

We sat out on the balcony raking through through the ashes of our lives

With summer coming to an end, summer coming to an end

Inside the children sleeping, their hearts already torn by the world

And they are growing up so fast, heaven knows, they are growing up so fast

And there’s a tangle of roots around our feet

We’re tied to each other and to the ground

And everything I learned turned out to be wrong

And the strong are so weak and the weak are so strong

So under cover of the darkness the moon still laughing at the sun

You can’t outshine me here

Remember that day forever, two million into one

Praying that love is stronger than fear, love can be stronger than fear

And there’s a tangle of roots around our feet

We’re tied to each other and to the ground

And everything I learned turned out to be wrong

And the strong are so weak and the weak are so strong
