How many times have you been pushed around?
Was anybody there? Does anybody care?
And how many times have your friends let you down?
Was anybody there? Did anybody stare?And how many times have your friends let you down?
Just open up your heart, just open up your mind
And how many times has your faith slipped away?
Well is anybody safe? Does anybody pray?Oh life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we're alive
Oh life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we'll surviveAnd how many days have you just slept away?
Is everybody high? Is everyone afraid?
And how many times have you wished you were strong?
Have they ever seen your heart? Have they ever seen your pain?Oh life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we're alive
Oh life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we'll surviveShe gets high, she gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week
And all her lifeShe gets high, she gets lost
She gets drowned by the cost
Twice a day, every week
And all her lifeLife is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we're alive
Oh life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we'll surviveOh life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we're alive
Oh life is waiting for you
It's all messed up but we're aliveIt's all messed up but we'll survive
It's all messed up but we're alive
It's all messed up but I will, I will survive
