Strength in Numbers
In Fear and Faith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This goes out to everyone who is sick and tired
of being prosecuted for being different.
This is more than just a song,
more like a ballad for those who want to be free
and this is about gathering together against the ones who said
that you can't be whoever you want to be.
So are you ready to stand up for yourself
and show the world what you really think.
Then raise your voice and let them know exactly who you are.
This is all of our family cause this right here, this is a family!

I can't believe that this happening
A million others can't breathe
We follow everything I said
These words are words to live by
We have the power, the strength in numbers
Your eyes are open, but can you see without the light?

So do you notice that cut at your side?
Do you feel the pain? Do you feel alive?
We walk these paths side by side
We will be ok, we will be alive

I am who I am, is that so hard?
To realize that we are who we are
You can't live your life, hoping you were wrong
You can follow us and join the thousand strong

And as we gather together
To face the ones who oppose us
We have one thing left to say.

Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.
Your time is up now, this is our world.

I should've known that this was happening
Everybody's trembling
Fall to your knees, we are here to stay
This is your last chance to be this way
I can finally say this is the way





This was worth fighting, worth dying for.

Overall Meaning

In Fear and Faith's song "Strength in Numbers" is a call to arms for those who feel oppressed for being different. The lyrics address feelings of frustration and anger towards those who try to suppress individuality and promote conformity. The song encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and embrace their unique identities. It's a proclamation of unity among those who don't fit into society's prescribed boxes of who they should be. Throughout the song, they remind the listener that they are not alone and that together, they are stronger.


The lines "Your eyes are open, but can you see without the light?" could be interpreted as an appeal for others to open their minds and see beyond the surface, beyond what they are accustomed to seeing. The lyrics also speak to the power in numbers and togetherness. The lines "We have the power, the strength in numbers" emphasizes the power that comes with uniting as a community. The repeated refrain at the end of the song, "Your time is up now, this is our world," is a powerful statement that encapsulates the message of the song - that it's time to take ownership of one's life and identity.
