The Survivors

(Aaah - Aaah)

Cross a windy bridge one winter night

Past Embankment Gardens enter warmth and light

Face the music (It's never easy)

Forget the chill

Face the future (It's never easy)

Find the will

If life is worth living, it's got to be done

One might be forgiven for thinking it's a life on the run

Many roads will cross through many lives

But somehow you survive

(Oooh, aaah)

Look around, picture what's in store

Is this the final edit, or is the subject now a bore?

Don't shrug your shoulders (It's always easy)

You can't ignore

That life is worth living, it's still worth a damn

One might be forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham

Many words may make it sound contrived

But somehow we're alive

The survivors - Our heads bowed

The survivors - At memorials for other faces in the crowd

Teachers and artists (It's never easy)

And Saturday girls

In suits or sequins (It's never easy)

Or twinsets-and-pearls

If life is worth living, (If life is worth living)

It's got to be run (It's got to be run)

As a means of giving, (As a means of giving)

Not as a race (race) to be won (not to be won)

Many roads will run through many lives

But somehow we'll arrive

(Oooh, aaah, aaah)

Many roads will run through many lives

But somewhere we'll survive
