Survivor
Mike Francis Lyrics

Hey survivor,
The singer addresses the subject of the song, the survivor.

Don't close your eyes
The survivor should not give up and lose hope.

Take advantage
The survivor should make the most of every opportunity to improve their situation.

Sliding on the night
The survivor is navigating through uncertain times.

Don't matter who you are
The survivor's identity is not important, as anyone can overcome their challenges.

Time ran so far away
The survivor has lost time in their struggle to survive.

And you must save your life
The survivor must take responsibility for their own survival.

(we know you can do it now)
The singer offers encouragement to the survivor, believing in their ability to persevere.

Hey survivor,
The singer repeats the opening address to the survivor.

Lonely with the moon
The survivor is facing their struggles alone, with only the moon as a companion.

Heart is broken
The survivor has suffered emotional pain in addition to physical challenges.

And there's nothing else to loose,
The survivor feels they have nothing left to lose.

You're the one that we belong to
The survivor is part of a larger community that cares for them and supports them.

They chose the game to play
The survivor's challenges were not of their own choosing, but were imposed on them by outside circumstances.

But they won't win again
The singer expresses confidence that the survivor will overcome their challenges and not be defeated by them.

(we know you can do it now)
The singer reiterates their belief in the survivor's ability to succeed.

Hey survivor
The singer addresses the survivor again.

You're gonna fly away
The survivor will eventually leave their struggles behind and move on to better things.

To the places you've been
The survivor will return to familiar places, having overcome their challenges.

Many times with a friend
The survivor will have the support and companionship of others as they move on from their struggles.

Don't you be afraid
The survivor should not fear the future, as they have the ability to overcome challenges.

We are waiting for you
Others care for the survivor and are looking forward to their return.

And soon you'll be back again
The survivor's struggles are temporary, and they will eventually return to their normal life.

We're gonna fly away
The singer and others will move on with the survivor to a brighter future.

There will be another day
The struggle is temporary, and brighter days are ahead for the survivor and their community.

And people won't be afraid
Others will look to the survivor as an example of overcoming challenges and not fear facing difficulties themselves.

Hey survivor
The singer addresses the survivor for the final time.

You will fall in love again,
The survivor will experience joy and happiness after their struggles, including the possibility of a new romantic relationship.

Knockin' on the door
Something positive is coming the survivor's way, perhaps even a new romantic interest knocking on the door.

You will think about the things
The survivor will have the opportunity to reflect on their experiences and learn from them.

To say
The survivor will have the chance to express themselves and share their story with others.
