When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live It's not so bad, it's not so bad How do you know that you're right?
I awoke on the roadside In the land of the free ride I can't pull it any longer And the sun is beating down my neck
So I ran with the devil Left a trail of excuses Like a stone on the water The elements decide my fate Watch it go
When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live Don't tell me that it's over Stand up poor and tired but more than this How do you know that you're right If you're not nervous anymore? It's not so bad, it's not so bad
I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus But I'm pushing on for that horizon I'm pushing on Now I've got the blowing wind against my face
So you sling rocks at the rip tide Am I wrong or am I right? I hit the bottom with a 'Huh!' Quite strange I get my glory in the desert rain Watch it go
(When I offer you survival)
When I offer you survival You say it's hard enough to live And I'll tell you when it's over Shut up poor and tired but more than this How do you know that you're right If you're not nervous anymore? It's not so bad, it's not so bad
Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Out of the fire Higher and higher
Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Out of the fire Higher and higher
Higher and higher We're gonna take it Down to the wire We're gonna make it Higher and higher
It ain't hard to hold When it shines like gold You'll remember me
