Verse 1 From the beginning of time, reaching out to the sublime in a cold and Hostile world We have struggled to exist in this earthly wilderness seeking an elusive Goal Many times it seems like we are fighting a hopeless cause implying Extinction is our lot, because we were constantly ravaged by scurges and Wars we fight we quarrel we complain but in the ending (of?) believe it or Not. Chorus: We will survive - no matter what the odds, Man will survive - inspired by Our Gods. It's a hard road we travel but to triumph we shall. we go toil we Go struggle cause at the end of it all (hum melody) whether you big or Small Peter helping Paul til the master call we fight for survival... Verse 2: In pursuit of happiness searching for a material place we have sought Increasingly, giving off our very best in this never ending quest we have Toiled unceasingly, disappointed by our friends and betrayed by conjugal Mates, surrounded by crime of every sort. The cruel cycle never ends and For us it's a test of faith - emphasised by condemnation, penalized with Retribution but... Chorus 2: We will survive - don't care what people say - Man will survive to see yet A brighter day. It's a mountain we're climbing some will rise some will Fall, there'll be slipping and sliding cause at the back of it all (hum Melody) metaphysical, deep and spiritual til the Master call we fight for Survival. Verse 3: Modern day societies, melting poor communities there are several rules and Laws. Where the power becomes subservient to the rich and affluent or they Show their fangs and claws. Divided by creed and race it aint easy to be Free, No one knows for sure if we really can, ever find an equal place and Live as one family, sometimes it's hard to find solution but nothing Conquers the will of Man. Chorus 3: We will survive - though times may be rough - man will survive we know how To be tough So let nothing divide we all for one, one for all feel the power and glory Cause at the back of it all (hum melody) though we whine and bawl breaking Down dancehall - til the master call we fight for survival Verse 4: Coming through the dark ages, looked upon as savages haunted by Unrighteousness, traumatized by ignorance, time and place and circumstance - we had to face all kinds of prejudice, subjected to slavery bound by Economic chains - quick to hold but slow to develop - daunted by redundancy Plagued by emotional pains, still for all we just wouldn't stop - why Surrender or give it up? Now Chorus 4: We will survive - as we have throughout the years- man will survive through Pain, sorrow and tears, to ensure our existence - to walk proud to stand Tall - yet to humble in His presence cause at the back of it all (hum Melody) no mistake at all unity is essential til the master call we fight For survival.
