SURVIVE
Music and Lyrics by Valerie Ghent

Another day
with no expectations
and you find it don't make
much of a difference if you love or hate you know
I don't believe that fate
determines the hereafter
I won't sit and wait
'cuz when you hold on to the dock
the waves crash anyway

I, I want to live more than survive

It's getting late
the rising sea of ignorance calls
too many flames
are clutching and grabbing and learning to hate now
the crucial key
trust in your own instincts
don't believe all you read
but take a good long look
at who profits from the greed

I, I want to live more than survive
there's more to life than struggle
I, I want to live more than survive

I'm gonna live more than survive
I got to know that I'm alive
I'm gonna live more than survive
There's got to be more to life than the struggle

Another day with no expectations
and you find it don't make
much of a difference if you love or hate you know
the crucial key
trust in your own instincts
don't believe all you read
but take a good long look
at who profits from the greed

I, I want to live more than survive
there's more to life than struggle
I, I want to live more than survive

I'm gonna live more than survive
I got to know that I'm alive yeah
I'm gonna live more than survive
There's got to be more to life than the struggle
Yea I wanna live more than survive
Survive yea…………
