Cochrane, Tom - Power (Strength In Numbers) Lyrics
Look - up on the building
See a silhouette
Crowd looks hungry
Because he ain't jumped yet
Man up on the tower
He's got something extra
I wonder if he's scared
Come on, come on
Come on, Turn it on
Turn it on, come on
Power... (Power)
Power... (Power)
Power... (Power)
Power... (Power)
Is he turning on us?
Is he turning?
You can't see his eyes now
Bet that they're burning
Are we among them?
There's strength in their numbers
Can't even hear us
There's too many others
What's he keep saying?
They're not even listening
Is he a poor man?
Why don't we listen?
It's invisible
You can't even touch it
If I was a wise man
I'd have spoke up
Come on, come on
Come on, Turn it on
Turn it on, come on
Turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, come on
Turn it on, come on
Turn it on, turn it on
Turn it on, turn it on
Power... Power...
Power... Power...
People do some strange things
When they're all together
They wouldn't even dream of (Power)
By themselves (Power)
If I was a brave man (Power)
I'd surely said something (Power)
I can't even sleep on it (Power)
'Cause it's all used up (All used up)
Power... (Power)
Power... (Power)
Power... quarter to twelve (Power)
Power... (Power)

Cochrane, Tom Power (Strength In Numbers) Comments
RIP Leilani Sotelo
My brother bought this album on cassette when it first came out, this was one of our favorite songs! Thought about this song many times since then, but heard it for the first time today in about 35 years. Great song!
I played this song on my Walkman all the way to sunny California.
Classic guitar riff & lyrics from RR!!!
( 1983 ) the golden age of popular music
naruda, one of the best studio albums ever!!!!
Why is it not available? I love this song?!
I had to Google this, in order to find it, here on YouTube. I wonder why it didn't come up as a search result before? It's such a good song!
8th grade for me this song was all over the radio for like a month then disappeared forever.
hehe,good old days huh?
Why is "Power" sequenced between "Light In The Tunnel" and "Human Race" on the original and reissued "Neruda" cd? Doesn't make much sense to me. "Power" is a good song but it should have been placed either before "Light In The Tunnel" or after "Human Race", b/c the latter 2 were paired naturally (via 12" single) when album radio played them together.
Red Rider have some great songs, this among them.
COME ON.........COME ON ...........COME ON ......TURN IT ON ..........COME ON........POWER----------------------POWER MUSIC ROCKS Sept 24 /2015
Tom Cochrane mentions why he did create this song. He and the band were playing a gig in Chicago, and he happened to take a walk. "Some poor guy was on the ledge about to jump and, like a chorus of crickets starting up at night, the crowd began chanting 'Jump ... Jump!' Man, I'll never forget that. That's where the line came from: 'People do some strange things when they're all together they wouldn't even dream of by themselves'" - Tom Cochrane *quote from website*
You are right
pretty awesome
This song is all abouth a man may be suiside and Tom left the place and he did a song abouth it
sounds like a song that should be on trading places,,,,Movie!
this is maybe my favorite band and Tom Cochrane might be my favorite performer. i love Red Rider and Tom. most of their creation is simply youthful energy. i'll follow it for a millenium.
Great song! One of my favorite songs ever by Red Rider.
To me, this album and As Far As Siam are their career highlights, but Boy Inside the Man, can't argue with that either.
I also love dont fight it
I agree Bro!
Whatever floats your boat.
Uhhhh,,,,,,, what????? How is that confusing?
Don't pay this guy no attention, he's just a troll. I've seen him make the same "mistake" of calling Tom Cochrane Eddie Cochran on 3 other videos.
hahaha Go Tom!! :D
i love this song. power
He's not 90 lol, as of 2012 he's 58 :)
power is beleaf in Jesus Christ
This album has been a serious influence on my life. So true! Everybody has to have this in their collection.
3:10 on sounds like a Metalocalypse background track. Its fucking Metal
@bodysurfer336699 As late as last year I heard CHEZ 106 in Ottawa Play "Light in the Tunnel" into "Power" and then into "Human Race". Threesome of Red Rider!
@addictoyou You missed a lot of good music in the 80's if you hadn't heard this one. SOOOOOO many good tunes. The 80's was THE decade for good music.
lol "Tom Cochrane" is 57 not 90
use yourself to keep what you love , alive.
totally unknown in italy!
pity!
Musicianship, inventiveness, originality, and all heart. Tom Cochrane and Red Rider kick!
Canadian 70's and 80's music is some of the best music ever created
If it wasn't for american record labels thinking canadians could't meet there expectations we would have seen these bands get much more popular .....Such a shame.
Either way. Thanks Tom cochrane for making some very meaningful and powerful song's
Tom Cochrane sure had a grasp on the dark side of human nature...
when was this song made? how come it doesnt have that many views?? its sick..
People were in touch with their self. When this album came out
Don't jump!!!!!!!
i heard this song on the radio and never knew what the name of it was until a week or so ago and i tried to look it up on youtube and couldn't find it, guess i missed this one
POWER!!!!
gordonyyz''thanks''
