lyrics
THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE
Life’s the big game we play
And we must each find a way
To raise our score
If we don’t play we cannot win our survival
Strengthen our game each day
And there’s no one else to blame
If we forfeiture
Everyone knows only The Strong Will Survive
If we play long enough
We increase the chance for luck
To come our way
Success doesn’t happen by ability alone - no
Get your ducks in a row
And when Lady Luck does finally show
Be ready to go
And never forget only The Strong Will Survive
We’ll never know when
The good luck will strike
Some things we – we just can’t control
Like a bolt of lightening
It may strike or it may not
When it does it can be frightening
Tough - toughen up the stuff you’ve got
All that we can do
Is strengthen our fortitude
And work the plan
And when the good lightning comes a knocking at our door
Always just do your best
Don’t worry about the rest
Some things aren’t controlled
And always remember that The Strong Will Survive
We’ll never know when
The good luck will strike
Some things we – we just can’t control
Like a bolt of lightening
It may strike or it may not
When it does it can be frightening
Tough - toughen up the stuff you’ve got
Bring it on home to you
I swear that these words are true
It’ll happen someday
Nothing can stop me from the game I love to play
Busting loose from my cage
Refusing to act my age
I cannot deny
Some may even find it frightening
I plan to get hit by the lightening
And may I remind you that The Strong Will Survive
