I did a quick acoustic version of this song as suggested by many forum members who did not like the strings and horns arrangement of the original. Although I still prefer the full production, I will admit that the single nylon guitar helps to put the focus on the lyrics. Which is what I'm all about. So that's a good thing.

If you want to listen to the original, here's the link:

Lyrics:

Steel yourself
To find a way
A way to rise and
Fight for yet another day
There's a hope
In the Air
Life can still be good
And something we can share

This tribulation
will be gone for good
I'd make it so today
If I could

Chorus
Oh, I will breathe some hope
Into your shattered soul
Enough to fill your heart
And take away the cold
I'll reach out to you
Across the distant way
I'll send my strength to you
Hold on, this day

I will send some power
from my outstretched hand
It will skip the ocean
It will skim the land
It will tame the beast
That hovers at your gate
Feel all its energy
Fear not your fate

Verse 2
Don't be sad
Don't lose hope
Use your strength
To stay your grip upon the rope
Feel my force
Guide your hand
You will right your stance
And then reclaim the land
The howling beast will
Soon be put to rest
Your perseverance
Will have met the test
