We are stronger than that, we are kinder than that We are moving forward, we are not going back We are stronger than that, we are kinder than that Love is stronger than that
When the storm is rolling in and our hopes start to fade That’s when we rise as one, our spirits like a blade We are many, we are mighty, and even when we are afraid …
We are stronger than that, we are kinder than that
We are moving forward, we are not going back
We are stronger than that, we are kinder than that
Love is stronger than that
When the storm is rolling in and our hopes start to fade
That’s when we rise as one, our spirits like a blade
We are many, we are mighty, and even when we are afraid
We are stronger than that
We will not yield to hatred, to lies or to shame
Our power lies in courage, and our love is not tame
If the lights go out on justice, we will light a flame
‘Cause we are stronger than that
To every one that’s turned away, we open up our town
If fear can build a wall, then love can tear it down
Then we’ll build a bigger table for all to gather round
‘Cause we are stronger than that
We will not yield to hatred, to lies or to shame
Our power lies in courage, and our love is not tame
If the lights go out on justice, we will light a flame
‘Cause we are stronger than that
We will not yield to hatred, to lies or to shame
Our power lies in courage, and our love is not tame
If the lights go out on justice, we will light a flame
‘Cause we are stronger than that

Beautiful. One line reminds me of Chef Andre's motto: Build a longer table, not a wall.

Hi Ron. I didn't know where the lyrics you provided came from. First went to Youtube to look for the song that they belonged to. It took me a while to figure out that the lyrics were for the song Bronwyn linked in a comment before yours. I suggest that making the connection within you comment would helpful to subscribers - Cheers!
Fern, I got the lyrics from this site: https://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/p/patti_casey/stronger_than_that.html
I, too, had a little difficulty locating them. I had to use the search in Google as "Stronger Than That lyrics Patti Casey."
I, also, noticed they did not exactly match Bronwyn's quote but had already posted it. In any event, I didn't feel there was enough difference to detract from the message itself so left it as is. I apologize if I misjudged that.
Hey, no apologies, Ron. I was just suggesting that we connect the dots in our comments by including the source - what prompted those lyrics to appear.
I have a great friend in Englewood. She's a teacher. We talked last night about students who are or think that they may be trans and how they could be affected when constitutionally approved rights are denied.
Fern, that was entirely my fault. I had "replied" to Bronwyn's post and assumed <groan> that it was self-explanatory. Yes, I should have "completed the sentence." Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will be more careful in the future.
🤝🏼🍎🌞
Ron, A tip: if you click on the three dots next to delict at the bottom of your lyrics comment, the dots provides an edit function. If you press it, you will then be able to place the song link in the comment with lyrics. Repeat: At the end of you lyrics comment are three dots next to the delete function. Press a dot and you will be able to add to the comment. Copy the song link within the lyrics comments. More cheers!
Fern, yes, I knew all that but figured <groan> that anyone following this thread would have seen the Link. I will add it to my OP.
We remain friends, right?
Yes, of course. We were never not. Your suggestion(s) are quite welcome... and obviously needed. We are good.
