To Be Strong
To Be Strong is a fan favourite and one of the band's most played songs, having been played at every tour.
It was one of the later songs written for Living Targets. The song was recorded during their second session with Billy Gould.
The song was occasionally played in a toned down version. Due to Arnim and Rod of Die Ärzte playing it at a Covid protest, it was the first song performed live after the band's 2019 break.
[Verse 1]
Waiting here in line
Trying to forget the bullshit in my mind
Time is on my side
I'm not here to hide
I need to breathe
And I'm not scared
But i don't know how it is
But i don't know how it is
To be strong
To be strong
It feels like this
Far too long
Trying to get that pressure out
In this song
[Pre-Chorus]
So here i am
On my own
With my back on the wall
With my back on the wall
[Chorus]
To be strong
To be strong
To be strong
To be strong
[Bridge]
Waiting here in line
Trying to forget the bullshit in my mind
Time is on my side
I'm not here to hide
