Survivor Songtext
von Robert Cray

Trouble all around me, everywhere
There was a time when I didn′t care
Life was a party, that's all we knew

Now I′m so glad to be here today
'Cause not everybody can stand up and say

That they're a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
You′ve got to choose
If you wanna be a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
Oh yeah, you′ve got to choose

Some learn, some don't
Some live, you know that some won′t
And time will tell
Turn around your life of hell
The good old days were such a waste of time


You take a little schoolboy and teach him who to hate
Then you send him to the desert for the war in Iraguate
You're trying to change a world that you don′t understand

Now I'm so glad to be here today
′Cause from now until forever and ever
You'd be lucky if you can stand up and say

That you're a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
You′ve got to choose
If you wanna be a survivor
You′ve got to choose
You wanna be a survivor
You've got to choose

Oh yes, I′m so glad to be here today
I'm so glad to be a survivor
Turn around your life of hell
Can′t change anything you don't understand
You oughta be glad
