Strength in Numbers
“Strength in Numbers” is a song composed by Rodney Rawlings about the importance of autonomy and rational individualism.
The following are the song’s lyrics, also written by Mr. Rawlings:
***
There’s STRENGTH IN NUMBERS”—that’s what they teach.
You join a crowd so no one can harm you.
Find STRENGTH IN NUMBERS, all you can reach—
Standing proud, you’ll walk arm in arm through hell.
***
But their dark, secret shame
Hides a shell, and a shell is a game played.
Fear takes the lead, reason slumbers.
There’s no aim, just a game played with numbers.
If you wish to be strong, you don’t need a throng, old chum;
And what’s more, you’ll always be number one with me,
If you must measure STRENGTH IN NUMBERS.
***
The Rational Argumentator is proud to host this inspiring, harmonious, and well crafted composition.
