The mother flew too late
The living's right to live
A loneliness arose and heard its name, ring in
Survival, survival
Where is the parent bird?
They take away and they give
Survival, survival
The egg breaks all is out
All that dies, dies for a reason
Who thinks he still could gain by escaping fate?
And we're all going
Not really knowing how
Yesterday's endings will tomorrow life give you
They take away and they give
Don't doubt the fact there's life within you
All that dies, dies for a reason
The living's right to know
To put its strength into the seasons
The living's right to know
The living's right to know
The world outside would take it when it came
Could someone still remain
It's much too late, don't underrate, appreciate
The living's right to live
And with it runs the aching fear of hate
They take away and they give
Don't doubt the fact there's life within you
So soon the evening comes
And life's the same for things we aim are we to blame?
Yesterday's endings will tomorrow life give you
For lives begin, survival win, survival sin
The crawling bird begins to scream and shout
The beginning of a shape of things to come
And we're all going
And life within the egg was left to fate
An egg too proud to rape
Survival, survival
To put its strength into the seasons
The living's right to live
That starts the run, life has begun, fly fast the gun
