How can you be sitting thereTelling me that you careThat you careWhen everytime I look aroundThe people suffer in sufferingIn everyway. In everywhereWe're the survivors; yes, the black survivalI tell you whatSome people got everythingSome people got nothingSome people got hopes and dreamsSome people got ways and meansWe're the survivors; yes, the black survivalYes we're the survivors likeDaniel out of the lions' den, survivors, survivorsSo my brethren, my sisthrenWhich way will we chooseWe better hurry, oh hurry woe now'Cause we got no time to loseSome people got facts and claimsSome peole got pride and shameSome people got the plots and schemesSome people got no aim it seemsWe're the survivors; yes, the black survivalWe're the survivors; yes, the black survivalWe're the survivors like shadrach, meshach and abednegoThrown in the fire but never get burnSo my brethren, my sisthrenThe preaching and talking is doneWe gotta live up woe now, woe now'Cause the father's time has comeSome people put the best outsideSome people keep the best insideSome people can't stand up strongSome people won't wait for longWe're the survivors; a black survivalIn this age of technological inhumanityWe're the survivors black survivalScientific atrocity, we're the survivorsAtomic mis-philosophy, we're the survivorsNuclear mis-energyIt's a world that forces lifelong insecurityAll together now we're the survivorsYes, the black survivalA good man is never honoured in his own country, black survivalNothing change, nothing strangeNothing change, nothing strangeWe got to survive, we've got to surviveBut to live as one equal in the eyes of the almighty
