Adrian Belew - Survival In The Wild lyrics

Underneath a burning sky The tenants of the fire Sit in silence as they ponder Survival in the wild With our love to keep us up There is nothing in the world That can knock us down We can take whatever comes If we face it hand in hand We can stand our ground Just a couple of kids with clouds in our heads Trying to swim upstream; trying to make it good But it happened so fast; when disaster came That a river of teardrops couldn't wash it away How do we now view ourselves, Sitting victims in a shelter needing help? How do we now regain control Over the remnants of our life without a home? If a bomb had hit us, nothing less would remain Not a wall to lean on; not a fork or a plate But at least we made it out and we're still alive And we're starting over now in the middle of the night It's a matter of time; a struggle to survive But it doesn't need to be a lonely fight If we stand by each other We'll be sure of our survival in the wild Underneath a burning sky The tenants of the fire Sit in silence as they ponder Survival in the wild
