Will to Survive
Copyright 2017 Scott Joachim

And so it goes
How it goes
Some things conspire and spiral
Out of control

It is
What it is
These questions of how and what for
Won't change a thing

This is my reflection
My humble refrain
I'm out of emotion
But there's one thing that won't go away

My will to survive
And thrive
Inspired to stand up and say
I'm still alive
And on fire
Nothing will stand in my way
And my will to survive

It will be 
What will be
When the dust from this gust settles
On to a page of our history

But I am
Who I am
And there's nobody, no how, and nowhere
Who can tear me apart from me

This is my reflection
My humble refrain
I'm out of emotion
But there's one thing that won't go away

My will to survive
And thrive
Inspired to stand up and say
I'm still alive
And on fire
Nothing will stand in my way
And my will to survive
