I Will Survive Songtext

von Larry Norman

I've had a life of pain and sorrow,?
But I will still be here tomorrow

?I will survive, I will survive.?

And nothing's gonna stop me knowing?
That love is real, it keeps me going.

?I will survive, I will survive.

??When the children are hungry I weep for them, ?I wanna hold them tight.?
When the shadows grow longer and the cold moves in?
I turn up my collar and walk into the night.??

Come to me my little boy,?
You have given me life's greatest joy.?

I will survive, I will survive.?

This road before us winds beyond the glade?
Some fall dancing the the slow parade?

I will survive, I will survive.

??As the season go by in my father's world
?My eyes grow dim
?I will trust not in the things I see?
But bow my heart and lift my hands to him.??
Temptation beckons or befalls me,
?Fear and indecision stalls me.

?I will survive, I will survive.?

Illusion shines like diamonds glistening,
?My father's watching, he is listening?

I will survive, I will survive.

??If you see me walking slowly like a man who's blind
?If you speak and I do not look up?
Then you must forgive me but I've got heaven on my mind.??
Though my days ahead are numbered,?
My life is rich, I have not slumbered?

I will survive, I will survive.

?Some hearts are pierced by love long lost
?Let my heart be pierced by the cross

?I will survive, I will survive.??

Friends may come and friends may go
?But enemies stay for the late show.

?I will survive, I will survive.

?Friendships fail and love's elusive?
Life goes quickly, time's abusive.

?I will survive, I will survive.
