The Mighty
Sting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Curse on this land and the days far behind us
Dragons we've slain, rescued many maiden?s fair
And no man ever dared break our stride
Or the brotherhood that binds us.
Brothers are we, marching on the roads of time
From this broken land and the days that defined us
Trusting in the knights noble vow
In the brotherhood that binds us.
When the broken are strong
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
When the beaten are proud
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
When the twisted can stand
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
When the silenced can laugh
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
When the hunted have turned
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
When the tortured are sane
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
When the blinded still stare
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
When the poisoned remain
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
When the voiceless can sing
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
And the shackled can run
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
And this downtrodden man holds his face to the sun
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
We?ll be walking high above the world.
(Freak the mighty, Freak the mighty)
Our legend will say
Freak the mighty
Freak the mighty
Freak the mighty
Freak the mighty...
The Mighty is a song by Sting about a group of warriors from an olden time, walking on a high road, free and just, bound by a brotherhood that no one could ever break. They have fought and defeated dragons, rescued fair maidens, and lived up to the noble vow of knights. They march on, on the roads of time, from a broken land and the days that defined them. They believe in the power of justice and the strength of their brotherhood.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the power of the mighty. It talks about how the broken are strong, the beaten are proud, and the twisted can stand. It speaks of how the silenced can laugh, the hunted have turned, and the poisoned still remain. It emphasizes how the voiceless can sing, the shackled can run, and the downtrodden can hold their face to the sun. The chorus affirms that they will be walking high above the world, and their legend will continue to say "Freak the mighty."
Sting's The Mighty is a song that celebrates an idealized version of humanity that believes in the power of brotherhood, justice, and freedom. It is a message of hope for those who feel beaten down and oppressed, that one day they too will be able to rise above and be a part of something greater than themselves.

A Basque folk carol, originally based on Angelus ad virginem, a 13th or 14th Century Latin carol,[2] it was collected by Charles Bordes and then paraphrased into English by Sabine Baring-Gould, who had spent a winter as a boy in the Basque country. The tu

Sting's song "Gabriel's Message" is a rendition of the biblical story of the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel visits Mary to inform her that she is to be the mother of Jesus Christ. The lyrics describe Gabriel's appearance as he descends from heaven with his wings as white as snow and eyes as bright as flames. Upon seeing Mary, Gabriel greets her with the words "All hail, thou lowly maiden Mary, Most highly favored lady," referring to her as a blessed mother and foretelling that her son will be Emmanuel, as prophesized by seers.
Mary's response to Gabriel's message is one of humility and acceptance, as she meekly bows her head and says, "To me be as it pleaseth God," praising and magnifying His holy name. The lyrics are a beautiful interpretation of this pivotal moment in Christian history, showcasing the wonder and awe of Gabriel's visitation, and the steadfast faith and acceptance of Mary's response.
