Survivor - Half-Life - Текст песни

This thing we call an existence, I stand here

Trying to make some sense of it all, 

Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile

But it's just not from the heart, 

I'm wrong for the part --

And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances

And go on believin', though deep in my heart I dream

Of brakin' away


*Are we all livin' a half-life, 

No point of dimension, 

Trying to find our way, 

Do we search in the dark, 

You and I, livin' a half-life, 

beyond our pretension, 

We're much the same

We search for the spark*


Behind the smoke screen around me, 

There beats a heart that is simple dreams that are mine --

We're only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic

Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme

And we work like a dog to get even, take our chances

And go on believin', though deep in our hearts we dream

Of breakin' the chains


(* Repeat) 


And I work like a dog to get even, 

Take my chances and go on believin'

Though deep in my heart I dream of breakin' away, 


(* Repeat)
