David Bromberg - Strongest Man Alive Lyrics
I am the strongest man alive!That might sound like idle boasting, but I have no need to lie;I have lived through storms and tempests not another soul survived;I am the strongest man alive!I have carried burdens heavier than human tongue can tell,I’ve travelled distances untold, been forth and back through hell;I’ve endured the very worst that man and nature could provide,I am the strongest man alive!I have fought in many battles, though I have not won them all;it’s a miracle this bruised and battered body breathes at all!Oh they say a cat has nine lives, well I’ve lived through four or five –I am the strongest man alive!I have cheated death a thousand times, that foul and greedy thief;but I’ve buried many comrades, which has brought me endless grief.I alone live on while all around my friends and loved ones die;I am the strongest man alive!It’s the mental anguish that’s the worst of all the pain I’ve had –where other men have gone insane, I’m only slightly mad!And still I bleed, I breathe, I weep through times I’ve wished to die;I am the strongest man alive!Although I am earth’s strongest man, I’m not immune to death;there’s a motive for each motion, a purpose for each breath,for without your true and lasting love, I would not – could not – survive;although, I am the strongest man alive!
