Touch Of Grey
Must be getting early, clocks are running late.
Paint my love a morning sky, its all cold.
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I dont care, but its all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
I see youve got your list out, say your piece and kiss off.
Guess I get the gist of it, but its all right
Oh well anyway, sorry that you feel that way.
Every silver linings got a touch of grey
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
Its a lesson to me, the ablers and the beggars and the thieves
The abcs we all think of, try to win a little love.
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
Its even worse than it appears, but its all right
Cow is giving kerosene, kid cant read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but its all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
Shoe is on the hand that fits, thats all there really is to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, but its all right
Oh well a touch of grey, kinda suits you anyway,
Thats all I had to say, but its all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
Its a lesson to me, the devils and the east and the free
The abcs we all must face, try to save a little grace.

Our Survival
We shall survive distance.
We shall survive space.
But can we survive the loneliness
that we have to face?
We shall survive winter.
We shall survive spring.
But can we survive the guilt
of the wedding ring?
We shall survive long nights.
We shall survive days.
But can we survive the longings
that always and forever stays?
We shall survive suspicion.
We shall survive fear.
But can we survive living
without each other, dear?
We shall survive all of this
if we put our love first.
We shall survive hunger.
We shall survive thirst
only if this love is true.

Survival Shake
This is no story its the key of existence
A little thing you better not forget
I dont know nothing bout its a water-resistance
Why dont you use your head
And survive, survive, survive
You got to survive
Survive, survive, survive
You got to survive
So tell me darling what you wanna be
A welcome idiot in an appletree
I shake you up and I shake you down
Down to the ground
To survive, survive, survive
You got to survive
Survive, survive
All you got to do is to survive
You just got one life
All you got to do is to survive
You just got one life
So better be careful boy
Survive, survive, survive...

I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought Id put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin it
Boy, oh, I see youre sittin out there all alone
Cryin your eyes out cos the woman that you love has gone
Oh, theres gonna be, theres gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees cos only the strong survive
Thats what she said, only the strong survive
Only the strong survive,
Oh youve got to be strong, youd better hold on
Dont go all around with your head hung down
Well I wouldnt let that little girl
No, I wouldnt let her know that she made me feel like a clown
Theres a whole lot a girls lookin for a good man like you
Oh but youll never meet em if you give up now and say that your life is through
Yes she said: only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
Youve got to be a man, youve got to take a stand

I Will Survive
(f.perren & d.fekaris)
(this is dedicated to my girls)
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so youre back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second youd be back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
coz youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no not i, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know Ill stay alive
Ive got all my life to live
And Ive got all my love to give
Ill survive
I will survive
Hey hey
(i, I will survive)
Hey hey
(i, I will survive)
Every day
(i, I will survive)
Oh yeah
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
Im not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now Im savin all my lovin for someone whos lovin me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
Youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no not i, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know Ill stay alive
Ive got all my life to live
And Ive got all my love to give
Ill survive
I will survive
Hey hey
Go now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
coz youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think Id crumble?
Did you think Id lay down and die?
Oh no not i, I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know Ill stay alive
Ive got all my life to live
And Ive got all my love to give
Ill survive
I will survive

Will We Survive? Yom HaShoah 5768
WILL WE SURVIVE? YOM HASHOAH 5768
Will we survive?
I don’t know.
I will not survive.
But will we survive?
Will my children grow old here?
Will there be generations to come here?
Will Israel survive?
Will the Jewish people survive?
G-d has promised us
But can we trust G-d?
Can we trust anyone or anything
After what we have been through.
Israel is here.
Sixty years.
The Jewish people
A few thousand or more
Will we survive?
How long?
I don’t know.
I pray we will do right
May God help us

Freedom
Freedom will come
To real love
Heaven will come
For real love
(Do-Wah Do-Wah Do-Wah)
Run away when it hurts from the things that we do
(Do-Wah Do-Wah Do-Wah)
Don't know why we cry
Run away from the truth
Children of new men
Colors of human kind, in shadow Good is your loving
Growing and sharing storms
Believe
You've got to believe
Calling the day freedom will come
And we will arise to real love
Day by day heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love
Cherish the union, the light in a stranger's eyes
Your guardian angel will make all the wrong things right
Believe
You've got to believe

Calling the day freedom will come And we will arise to real love
Day by day heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love
Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love
Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love
Calling the day freedom will come
And touch the sky in heaven above
Day by day heaven will come
And we'll survive for real love

Truth Hurts
You know my will is broken
Youve got my heart on hold
Im lying here in pieces, so cold
It gets so hard to handle
All the things you need to say
But I guess I heard it all before anyway
Is love such a blessing or a curse
Either way
Truth hurts
Well therell be no more running
Now Ive got you face to face
I want to know who youve been loving in my place
You say I had it coming
Try to hold my head up high
Love gave me wings and left me paralyzed
Theres nothing left alive
As we watch the spirits die
The world keeps turning
My heart keeps learning
Do you know where the guilty sleep
Babe Ive got my pride
Somehow I will survive
The world keeps turning
My heart keeps learning
Do you know where the lonely sleep tonight
Another fallen angel
How far I just cant tell
Living without love is a living hell
Why is love such a blessing or a curse
Baby either way
Truth hurts
Babe Ive got my pride
Somehow I will survive
My heart keeps learning
Dont know which is worse
But one thing that I know
Truth hurts

How Do I Survive
How Do I Survive if you break my heart
I'm not strong enough
Just to smile and make things easy
I can't put on my brave face anymore
I always took it for granted
That I could take whatever you gave me
I guess you never really know for sure
'Cause there was never a doubt in mind
How it was meant to be
So who do I turn to darlin' if you should leave
How do I survive if you break my heart
How do I survive if you break my heart
I've got no excuses for bein' your fool
I never thought that it would be forever
But after so much time together
I've come to depend on you
What else am I supposed to do
'Cause there was never a doubt in mind
It wouldn't be easy
But I never realized how much you mean to me, ho
How do I survive if you break my heart
How do I survive if you break my heart
break
But there was never a doubt in mind
How it was meant to be
So who do I turn to darlin' if you should leave
How do I survive if you break my heart
How do I survive if you break my heart (How do I survive)
How do I survive if you break my heart (If you break my heart)
How do I survive if you break my heart (whooh, whooh)
How do I survive if you break my heart (How do I survive)
How do I survive if you break my heart (whooh,whooh)
How do I survive if you break my heart

I Will Survive
This is a rare song from the 'Gladiator' soundtrack... the boxing movie, not the Russell Crowe movie.
------
The battle line is drawn
I dare you to cross it
You better think twice
before you mix it up with me
I won't back down
I'll keep the fire burning
As hard as you try
you're never gonna stop me now, no
You think you're shaking my innocence
but you're wasting time
Cause you don't know who I am.
I will survive
I'm driven by the faith
You can see it in my eyes
It's written on my face
I will survive
And I won't let it
fall from grace
All around the world
There are true believers
I know I'm not alone
There's someone watching over me
Ow! Stand my ground
While the world keeps turning
If I believe enough
I'm never gonna fade away, hey
You think you're shaking my innocence
but you're wasting time
Cause you don't know who I am.
I will survive
I'm driven by the faith
You can see it in my eyes
It's written on my face
I will survive
No I won't let it
I won't let it fall from grace
(Fall from grace...)
There's someone watching over me.
(Fall from grace...)
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gonna stand my ground
I will survive
You can see it in my eyes...
I will survive
I've driven by the faith
You can see it in my eyes
It's written on my face
I will survive
I will survive
I won't let it fall from grace
I will survive
You can see it in my eyes
I will survive
Yeah...

If You Dont Want My Love
I know you have reservations
And youre just along for the ride
But I see a slight hesitation
What are you trying to hide
Dont be afraid to bare your soul
Nothing you say could be too bold
Im growing old
If you dont want my love
Tell me now cause Ill survive
If you dont want my love
Im sure that somebody does tonight
You make a grown man quiver
It might be hard to believe
But its time to stand and deliver
Youve just been playing with me
I dont want to blow my only chance
But youve got to show me where you stand
Or drop my hand
If you dont want my love
Tell me know cause Ill survive
If you dont want my love
It wont be the end of my life
If you dont want my love
Night will fall and the sun will rise
If you dont want my love
Im sure that somebody does tonight
I dont want to blow my only chance
But youve got to show me where you stand
Or drop my hand
If you dont want my love
Tell me now cause Ill survive
If you dont want my love
It wont be the end of my life
If you dont want my love

If you dont want my love
Im sure that somebody does tonight
If you dont want my love
Aint gonna worry tonight
If you dont want my love

Regretful Times
the doors open into the room a fulfilled life and a lot to regret for the
summers rays and winters cold and not regretful
i will not survive sombody will save me
the damaged style and damaged skin is peeling off and burning within the
tearful eyes and drowning frowns soon collides and now it meets its destination
i will not survive somebody save me
the passion times theres not many through im down on luck and theres too many
to remember the brocken dreams and broken thoughts my heads up high and i wont survive
i will not survive somebody save me

Alone At Sea
Alone I lay on a wooden raft
Alone I stay in the dark
Alone I pray to survive
Alone I may not survive
Alone I look out to the sea
Alone I wake up on the sea
Alone I reach out for help
Alone I may not survive
Alone I eat my dry food
Alone I drink the salty water
Alone I sit in the cold
Alone I may not survive
Alone, yes, alone I stare at the storm
Alone, yes, alone I live on the sea
Alone, yes, alone I wait for the rescue boat
Alone, yes, alone I may not survive
Alone, yes, alone I pray to be safe
Alone, yes, alone I call out for help
Alone, yes, alone I get on the boat
Alone, yes, alone I was rescued
Alone, yes, alone I lived on the sea for months
And alone, yes, alone I walked ashore unaided

The night will see the future
Dont you know by now
The long and lonely night,
I finally see the light
Like a demons dream, lights burning
Loves not black and white
And Im still alive, and I will survive
Yeah, come on baby
I will survive
Come on honey
I could see the future, its just one dark cloud
Lets leave it to the second dance,
You wont keep me waitin too long
I can see those street lights burning,
Loves not black and white
And Im still alive, and I will survive
Well come on baby
I will survive
Yeah come on honey
The winds are hints of trouble as the skies
They turn to red
Knock knock knock, heaven upside down
As this devil holds his hand
Well I will survive

Loves not black and white

Destroyed By You
Baby do you really know
What you meant to me
You were like a light of stand
Shining just for me
Then I found my heart was taken in by you
Last night
My believe was breaking into the fragments
Deep inside
There's a light
Light in my life
To let me know
I will survive
Tell me why
Why was this light killed by you
Destroyed by you
Baby did you really mean
What you did to me
I was blinded by the light
So I just could not see
That my love will lead into the darkness
Of dispair
And in the moment of destruction you'd say
I don't care
There's a light
Light in my life
To let me know
I will survive
Tell me why
Why was this light killed by you
Destroyed by you
Baby do you really know
What you meant to me
You were like a light of stand
Shining just for me
Light
Light up my life
To let me know
I will survive
Tell my why
Why was this light killed by you
Destroyed by you
Light up my life
There's a light
Light in my life to
Let me know
I will survive
Tell my why
Why was this light killed by you

why do i have this doubt?
come on, come on

honey stand by your man

why do i fear so much?
come on, come on
it's alright, i feel it
if i survive this i'm going down and pray
i know i have it in me, i will hurt you so bad if i stay
do you really want it this way?
they're the same, they're the same
they're all the same with the static faces
the slitted wrists and the fame
and only themselves to blame
and if faith means trust, there's no faith in me
and i need noone, as noone needs me
it's alright, i feel it
it's alright, i feel it
if i survive this i'm gonna take new stand
i'd do anything just to feel the sweet touch of the hand
oh honey stand by your man
and if faith means trust, there's no faith in me

One Broken Heart
Young girl you really did believe in him
Still he broke your heart with lies
Youve got to be stronger, the pain,
It wont last much longer
Dont lose respect for yourself, no
Sweet young thing,
No, dont lose your head
Or by the time youre seventeen
Youll be waking every morning
With a stranger in your bed
One broken heart,
I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart
Is no reason to give up on life
Girl, be waiting, be anticipating
For that new love to come along
And one broken heart, youll survive
So sad,
You lived for and now youre dying for love
But you wont find it, like that
No peace and calm,
In the strength of a strangers arms
Baby wake up to yourself
Love aint guaranteed, no,
But it sure is worth a new start
Or by the time youre twenty-one
Youll be lying in a strangers bed
Dying from a broken heart
One broken heart,
I know it cuts like a knife
But one broken heart is no reason to give up on life
Girl, be waiting, be anticipating
For that new love to come along
And one broken heart, youll survive
And Im hoping, Im really hoping
That sweet love will come your way
To mend one broken heart, youll survive
One broken heart, youll survive
One broken heart, youll survive

I Will Survive
The world can be a hard place
for everyone living here.
Dangers present themselves
to us on a daily basis.
Each day we look
forward to the next,
always saying to ourselves
I will survive I will survive.
We battle through the black clouds
that circle around our head
always thinking of
the better times that lie ahead.
We sleep and dream
of all the things we wish
always saying to ourselves
I will survive I will survive.

Death Is Knocking
Just Focus.
Stop And Think.
Your On The Brink With No Way Out.
Its Do Or Die Time.
Can You Survive.
Will You Survive.
I Can See It In You Eyes.
Your Soul Is Fading.
Drifting On To Next.
Such An Moment Of Mourning. Your Going Going Gone.
Just Focus.
Stop And Think.
Your On The Brink With No Way Out.
Only One Thing Comes To Mind Doubt And More Festering Doubt.
Like An Infection It Spreads Through The Skin.
Slowly Turning Your Complexion To An Ominous Pale Gray.
Can You Survive.
Will You Survive.
Does It Mean You Still Live With All The Senses And Emotions Still Attached.
Body And Mind In Sync
Just In Time.
I Think You'll Be Just Fine.
Just Focus.
Stop And Think.
Your On The Brink With No Way Out.
The Vision Is Just To Horrifying To Even Think About.
There Is No Dark Cloud.
It Will Not Rain On Me.
Hope Till The Bitter End. Don't Surrender.
Can You Survive.
Will You Survive.
Sadness In The Skies.
Wishing Upon Another Sunrise.
A Fairy Tale Gone So Wrong.
Its My Worse Nightmare Coming True For You.
What Can You Do?
Just Focus.
Stop And Think.
Your On The Brink With No Way Out.
I'm Just So Sorry.
But It Just Doesn't Cut It.
No Words Can Explain It.
Its The Light In The Dark.
Soon It Will Be Gone.
Still You Go On As If Nothing Wrong.
As If You Already Know Where Your Going,
And Just Maybe You Do.
But I Don't And It Scares Me.
I Want To Be Brave For You.
But In The End Its Not Up To Me Or You.
Can You Survive,
Will You Survive.
Please Let It Be Quick.
And Let Pain Be Gentle.
Cause I Just Wont Be Take It.
To Much To Bare For My Soul.
I Burn Inside And It Just Wont Go Away.
It Just So Hard Even Still To Describe That Day. One Day I Will Be With You Again
And It Will All Be Okay.

Crazy
In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under
Only child know
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for
Is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on that breaking wall
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Cray cray crazy
Crazy are the people walking through my head
One of thems got a gun to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Get it
