survive lyrics

(daryl hall)

Whatever happened to you
The one that was so beautiful
I could count on you to make my life a little brighter
I always thought you were built to last
But I never saw anything fall apart so fast

You were born in freedom
To be a slave to your inhibitions
Inventing excuses and proving the right to back up your condition
But a soul like that ain't tied too tight
And it's liable to scatter all over the night

Seasons change
Some people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
But I see you're still alive
Seasons change
Some people get old and die
Great cities are built up and torn down
So how could you survive

I'm not asking for much
Only for time to stop
And history to go unrecorded
And people not to be people
People not to be people
People not to be people
People not to be people not to be
