Cross a windy bridge
One winter night
Past Embankment Gardens
Enter warmth and lightFace the music
(It's never easy)
Forget the chillFace the future
(It's never easy)
Find the willIf life is worth living, it's got to be done
One might be forgiven for thinking it's a life on the run
Many roads will cross through many lives
But somehow you surviveLook around
Picture what's in store
Is this the final edit
Or is the subject now a bore?Don't shrug your shoulders
(It's always easy)
You can't ignore that life is worth living
It's still worth a damnOne might be forgiven for thinking
It's something of a shame
Many words may make it sound contrived
But somehow we're alive(The survivors)
Our heads bowed
(The survivors)
At memorials for other faces in the crowdTeachers and artists
(It's never easy)
And Saturday girlsIn suits or sequins
(It's never easy)
Or twin sets and pearlsIf life is worth living it's got to be run
As a means of giving not as a race to be won
Many roads will run through many lives
But somehow we'll arriveMany roads will run through many lives
But somewhere we'll survive
