Words and music

Richard Newton
Vocals and Sax

Herbie Russ

Verse one:
I wake up each day, with hope in my heart
Someone will help with the answers.
The problems of life, I will endure,
But you are the hope for the cure.
Verse two:
Stretching my arms, holding my dreams
That's how each morning begins
I'm fighting the fight and the battles within
I know we're going to win
Bridge:
We're standing strong together
Helping us feel as one
We'll face the stormy weather
Until the job gets done
Verse Three:
Living our dreams helps get us through
Knowing we're not by ourselves
The stronger the wind, the tougher the tree
But we will need your help
Bridge: Repeat
We're standing strong together
Helping us feel as one
We'll face the stormy weather
Until the job gets done
Refrain:
The stronger the wind, the tougher the tree
That's what we sing to get through
The stronger the wind, the tougher the tree
But we need help from you
Repeat:
Repeat:
Voice:
Please, can we count on you?

Another version of this song (with children's voices) has been
donated to
The Sturge-Weber Foundation
This is how they describe his CD "Story of My Life":
The beautiful music of Herbie Russ CD - featuring "The Stronger
The Wind"
The Sturge-Weber Foundation enthusiastically presents the
magnificent music of Herbie Russ.
We believe you will find Herbie's unique blend of saxophone and
vocal music
to be a masterwork of listening pleasure.
We are very grateful that he has agreed to share his talent with
us.
This CD takes the form of a story.
It is about childhood, immaturity, difficulty, maturity, rebirth,
love
and finally happiness.
It's Herbie's story
but more important
it just might be your story, too.
We believe you will find Herbie's music both beautiful and
rhythmic
with melodies that will draw you to listen
over and over again.
