The Strong Become Weak

I’m standing here in front of you all
Been asked to have my say
But the words won’t come tears well up
I stop turn away
In the silent expectation I can hear my heart beat
Emotions are running like a river tonight
The strong become weak


There’s a time for laughter
There’s a time for tears
There’s a time to celebrate
The passing of the years
But I know when it comes my time to speak
The strong become weak


Got to get it together
It’s easier said than done
Talking about family
Friends loved ones


It’s an honour to be standing here
But I find it so hard to speak
Emotions are running like a river tonight
The strong become weak
