Adrian Belew - Survival In The Wild Lyrics
Underneath a burning skyThe tenants of the fireSit in silence as they ponderSurvival in the wildWith our love to keep us upThere is nothing in the worldThat can knock us downWe can take whatever comesIf we face it hand in handWe can stand our groundJust a couple of kids with clouds in our headsTrying to swim upstream; trying to make it goodBut it happened so fast; when disaster cameThat a river of teardrops couldnt wash it awayHow do we now view ourselves,Sitting victims in a shelter needing help?How do we now regain controlOver the remnants of our life without a home?If a bomb had hit us, nothing less would remainNot a wall to lean on; not a fork or a plateBut at least we made it out and were still aliveAnd were starting over now in the middle of the nightIts a matter of time; a struggle to surviveBut it doesnt need to be a lonely fightIf we stand by each otherWell be sure of our survival in the wildUnderneath a burning skyThe tenants of the fireSit in silence as they ponderSurvival in the wild
