Strength In Numbers
Written by Thomas Webb

The World’s seen many Battles
From Great Wars to Bar fights
And with a few right moves
a man becomes a hero overnight
but where does courage come from
Is it bought or is it found
They say theres strength in numbers
I guess I’ll have another round

It doesn’t only come from combat
prove yourself in other ways
David’s Rock and Sling or Ali’s Ring
They’ve had their yesterdays
Perhaps Today is my turn
I’ll sail my ship for higher ground
They say there’s strength in numbers
I guess I’ll have another round

When Push Comes to Shove, I hope a power above
Can show me how to help myself
Perhaps the answer I need
is a bit closer to me
For sale on the bottom shelf
But Ive Got all my friends here
Just take a look around
They say theres strength in Numbers
I guess I’ll have another round

Would the power above, through Guidance and love
Teach me how to help myself
Perhaps the answer I need
is a bit closer to me
For sale on the bottom shelf
But Ive got all my friends here
Just take a look around
They say theres strength in Numbers
I guess I’ll have another round
