Surviving
Look at us here today
Lots of talking with nothing to say
And if I seem somewhat afraid
Im surviving, thats all I am
Im surviving to be a better man
Im surviving, thats my plan
Just surviving
Yesterday, I was sure
But today I dont know anymore
Thought I was brave till I saw
My frightened reflection in a dark corridor
Now Im surviving to be a better man
Im surviving with an emotional plan
Im surviving, so please understand
Im surviving, surviving
There are millions of people out there
Trying to get by in a world that dont care
People smiling through clouds of despair
Protecting the wounds until they repair
Theyre surviving the best way they can
They are surviving every woman and man
Just surviving with an emotion plan
So keep surviving
Maybe its my shattered pride
Thats why I get scared of emotional ties
Dont let them in, otherwise
Youll smile like a fool
But youll be hurting inside
So Im surviving through the insecurity
I am surviving, I got hope inside of me
So Im smiling through all the insanity
Im surviving, surviving
I was moved by the way that you said
Dont be afraid, I wont leave you for dead
You took my soul and mixed up my head
You left me alive
You should have killed me instead
Now Im surviving, thats all I am
Im surviving to be a better man
Im surviving, thats my plan
Im surviving, surviving

Just About Now
Just about now
I'd be watching you wake up
Feeling my heart beat with yours
Just about now
Is when we would make love
Like all of the mornings before
But I know it don't help to turn the clock back
'Cause I'm not gonna make it
'Til I face this fact
This is not about trying to go back in time
This is not about where I'll be a year down the line
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now
Just about now
You'd pull in the driveway
And I'd be there waving hello
Run to my arms
You'd kiss me and hold me
As if you'd never let go
And it's just about now when the tears start to fall
I wonder if I'm gonna make it at all
This is not about trying to go back in time
This is not about where I'll be a year down the line
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now
It's just moment to moment
Surviving somehow
This is not about then
This is just about now

Surviving The Life
Words and Music by Neil Diamond
Surviving the life, got some highs, got some lows,
but the wise man, he knows what it's really about.
When you're doin' without, surviving the life.
Providing the soul, it ain't easy to do
when you got to get through any way that you can.
Join the fam'ly of man providing the soul.
Pass the plate that serves it,
ev'ry heart deserves it; you and me, we do.
Life ain't easy, but it ain't that bad.
Sing the song that tells it, praise the man that sells it;
you're alive, you might as well be glad.
Revealing the heart, you know that some people try
but it's hard to get by without giving a thing.
You only get what you bring, revealing the heart.
Pass the plate that serves it,
ev'ry heart deserves it'; you and me, we do.
Life ain't easy, but it ain't that bad.
Sing the song that tell it, praise the man that sells it;
you're alive, you might as well be glad.
Providing the soul, revealing the heart, surviving the life

Desert Tree
Starving for water,
Shade an unimaginable luxury,
Surviving blistering heat,
The soul quickly perishing.
Infertile soil is my foundation,
Once nature's prosperous womb,
I am her only child now,
Isolated against this monotonous hell.
Starving for attention,
Contact an unimaginable luxury,
Surviving every lonely day,
The soul quickly perishing.
Cold concrete is my foundation,
Once a path to pass,
I sleep upon her now,
Isolated against this monotonous hell.
What's in onesidedness
but a lie surviving the left ear deaf
talking to the right people
the truth takes two

The Dive
When I wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing
That can stop my eyes
From crying
When you put the pressure
Down on me
Cause I dont quite fit
You imagery
Im trying
Baby Im no superman
Chorus:
Eyes like a deep blue sea
To dive in
Love that you give to me
Were surviving
Surviving
When love is gone
I cant carry on
When you konw that love
Is on my mind
Its a perfect chance
To be unkind
You do it
Being sly you take a chance
On crime
But the master has a new design
On loving, living
Out and in the enemy
(chorus)
Eyes that open wide
Do you do
Love you give the child
Do you do
Why do you do that to me?
When I wake up feeling victimized
There is nothing
That can stop my eyes
From crying
When you put the pressure
Down on me
Cause I dont quite fit
Your imagery
Im trying
Im no superman
(chorus)

In The Name Of Love
Michael mcdonald
I know that love could realign the phases of the moon
Yet it comes and goes like a wave of a stranger
And as we stumble for the truth were caught in a web of lies
Is nothing worth a damn without the danger
Were lost in a world of illusive dreams
Where every story has a desperate ring
(chorus) we got a right to happiness in the name of love
And though sometimes we may forget to give it all we possess
We gotta try for what we get in the name of love
And without pause or regret searching only for the best
We could see the light unfold right before our eyes
Blinded by the tears we get lost in the shadows
Oh but the heart is a wondrous thing
Surviving the thunder outlasting the rain
(repeat chorus)
Oh but the heart is a wondrous thing
Surviving the thunder outlasting the rain
(repeat chorus)
And well try in the name of love
And well try in the name of love
We got a right in the name of love

Love and Passion
Imperceptible, surviving with no time and space
Or maybe surviving at another thrilling dimension
Love has its distinct meanings and its grace
For melting cloud slashed sunset, in sweet detention
Wondering always about the uncertainty of life
Passion is like going to the window to yell
Carrying oxygenated blood, leading always to strife
It needs the scorpion because they are friends in hell.
Creating a spiritual awakening, without loving intent
Against love which transcends all logic and time.
Engulfed in flames, burning red hot mental torment
Blue ocean and thirst for the truth lasting a lifetime
Like a Caribbean Dream, settlement of Rainbow Bay
Is the perfect love transcending logic being so strong
That no malfeasance act nor hate can destroy it one day
It bespeaks no selfishness, it can endure for long..

Burnt
Crawled from my hole
Covered in mud
Forced my face up
Towards the sun
Burnt
This happened to me once before
Now I make myself go back again
They've known me
Smothered me
Forget life and accept
Then I wait
I don't need you
(I don't need to know)
We'll be down here
(Live without a clue)
I don't want you
(You resist me)
Came here to exist
(I don't want all of this)
Rubbing me out
Pushing me down
It's picking me up
Stooding me on
Starving me
Surviving me
Starving me
Surviving me
Leaving me
Still see the gap
They've known me
Smothered me
Forget life and accept
I don't need you
(I don't need to know)
We'll be down here
(Live without a clue)
I don't want you
(You resist me)
Came here to exist
(I don't want all of this)
Rubbing me out
Pushing me down
It's picking me up
Stooding me on
Burnt
