Story behind the song
My uncle Rudy was dying of liver failure and he called me and told me he was reading the bible. I could belive it and I asked him why. He told me "there are no atheists in foxholes."
Lyrics
The Strength To Leave c 1998 Dean Madonia Nothing in her life was positive but a test for HIV She said, "Give me the strength to leave." In the terminal ward beside her, a boy still tries to breathe he says, "Give me the strength to leave." Give me the strength to leave today Give me something to believe and I'll be on my way Give me the strength to leave The children sweep the minefields for their father's enemies They say "Give me the strength to leave." with a picture of Khomeni and a rifle on their knees they pray "Give me the strength to leave." Give me the strength to leave today Give me something to believe and I'll be on my way Give me the strength to leave Walk in the shadow, walk in the shadow, Walk in the shadow, walk in the shadow, Ahh Walk in the shadow, walk in the shadow, Walk in the shadow, walk in the shadow, Ahh Give me the strength to leave today Give me something to believe and I'll be on my way Give me the strength to leave Neath a darkened sky in Calvary, he was waiting for the theives, he said, "Give me the strength to leave," And when I'm cold and dying and there's nothing left for me I'll say Give me the strength, Pray, give me the stregth, to leave
