You've lived your life
|
And how you survived
|
I'll never know
|
People talk of hardships
|
What do they know
|
What do they know
|
Of the strength you had to show
|
|
To stop yourself from crying out
|
To keep you head above the sand
|
Those times when you were in dispair
|
When trouble seemed your only friend
|
Somehow you kept your spirits high
|
You told him straight don't call again
|
|
Now there were times
|
When it seemed I didn't care
|
Don't misjdge my silence
|
You had my sympathy
|
I had sympathy
|
And I admired how you
|
|
Stopped yourself from crying
|
Kept your head above the sand
|
When trouble seemed your only friend
|
Somehow you kept your spirits high
|
You told him straight
|
Don't call again
|
|
And now the future's looking bright
|
You fought alone and won the fight
|
Kept your faith
|
When times were hard you made it through
|
Trouble seemed your only friend
|
Somehow you kept your spirits high
|
|
You stopped yourself from crying out
|
You kept your head above the sand
|
Those times when you were in despair
|
Trouble seemed your only friend
|
Somehow you kept your spirits high
|
You told him straight
|
Don't call again
|
