Tower Of Strength Lyrics
You raise me up
When I'm on the floor
You see me through
When I'm lonely and scared
And I'm feeling true to the written word
And you're true to me
And still I need more
It would tear me apart
To feel no one ever cared
For me
You are a tower of strength to me
You stand firm and proud
When the wind blows in your face
And when the sun shines in your eyes
You just turn your head away
To me
You are a tower of strength to me
You rescue me
You are my faith
My hope
My liberty
And when there's darkness all around
You shine bright for me
You are the guiding light
To me
You are a tower of strength to me
You're all passion and heart
When I lay in your embrace
And heaven is in your kiss
Salvation lies just a touch away
To me
You are a tower of strength to me
When I'm on the floor
You see me through
When I'm lonely and scared
And I'm feeling true to the written word
And you're true to me
And still I need more
It would tear me apart
To feel no one ever cared
For me
You are a tower of strength to me
When the wind blows in your face
And when the sun shines in your eyes
You just turn your head away
To me
You are a tower of strength to me
You are my faith
My hope
My liberty
And when there's darkness all around
You shine bright for me
You are the guiding light
To me
You are a tower of strength to me
When I lay in your embrace
And heaven is in your kiss
Salvation lies just a touch away
To me
You are a tower of strength to me

An amazing song sooo powerful and always lifts me when I'm feeling sad a song about true love how everthing will be alright with your love standing by your side being a tower of strength
While the song was reportedly about a specific person, the meaning took on a life of its' own when it was embraced by The Mission fanbase as an anthem (of sorts) and, during a period when the band was considering calling it a day, became a person "prayer" for the fans by the frontman, Wayne Hussey.
Kosheen's single "All in My Head" coincidentally follows the same guitar chord progression and general rhythm. While there was much innocence claimed, a track by a fan who mixed both Tower of Strength and All in My Head was banned from Kosheen's official forum.
