Lyrics

THE SURVIVOR

(Verse 1)
He's a man going through a lot
He's a man going through some hard hard times
But he'll make it, he always does
He'll never let it get him down

(Verse 2)
When pain goes through your heart
You just don't know where it will stop
Well, I'll tell you, I'll help you, as I can
I just don't know how much It will be to you

(Verse 3)
You harden yourself
You'll never let them all the way inside your heart
Because you're afraid if you do that someday
They'll have your grave

?
?
? * CHORUS *
? Let them in
? Let them in
? Cause you're the survivor
? You'll always survive
? You'll make the way to some major good times to me
? You always survive

(Verse 4)
Then you finally let somebody in
Not quite all the way
But you've got to take a little bit of me
Cause that's what love is
It's a little bit of give and take
So let me in, survivor, let me in...
? * CHORUS *
? Let them in
? Let them in
? Cause you're the survivor
? You'll always survive
? You'll make the way to some major good times to me
? You always survive
