Power To The Meek
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
I'm just a girl with a smoking gun
I got my fingers stung
My fingers stung yea
I'm just a girl with my fingers stung
Bless these bones
Bless this skin
All of me and the mess I'm in
Yea the mess I'm in
But I don't care
Don't know where I've been
But I'll get me there
I'm alive
Yea and it's alright
I'm alive
Yea and it's alright
Power to the meek
Power to speak
I got the power within me
Yea yea
Power to the shine
In my worn out shoes yea
Power to me
Power to you
Yea bless this head
Bless his hair
Bless me to the dirt
In my fingernails yea
Bless this day
Bless this night
Give me something good
Make me feel alright
I'm alive
Yea and it's alright
I'm alive
Yea and it's alright
