Song Description

A melancholy, yet hopeful song, that captures the feeling of doubt and fear that we must all overcome.

Lyrics

It feels like a vacant cellar. The pipes leak, and th lights don't work.
I grope for a dirty pillow on which to cry.
No sleep and no friends to turn to, I look down and I hug myself.
Keep still, 'cause I'm so afraid that I'll never fly.

Chorus:
You look around, and nobody's there. The silence can be so hard to bear,
But the greatest thing we ever have is the will to survive.
When life can trap you without reprieve, sometimes you wonder if you believe
That the greatest thing we ever have is the will to survive.

Outside in an open desert, the dunes tumble around my knees.
I reach for a fertile cactus that makes me bleed.
High wings soaring far above me; they swoop down, and they see what's wrong.
I stroke them, but they retreat, 'cause it's time to feed.

CHORUS

You never thought you would get this far. Just look up high, and you'll see your star,
'Cause the greatest thing we ever have is the will to survive.
I hope to see you when tomorrow dawns. I hope to tell you that the pain is gone,
'Cause the greatest thing we ever have is the will to survive.
I will survive.
