Lyrics

[02:14.52] Sunshine is creeping in
[02:17.34] and somewhere in a field
[02:19.45] a life begins,
[02:23.16] An egg too proud to rape
[02:25.82] the beginning of the shape
[02:27.94] of things to come,
[02:30.72] That start the run,
[02:33.53] life has begun,
[02:36.26] fly fast the gun.
[02:39.17]
[02:39.73] The Mother flew too late
[02:42.57] and life within the egg
[02:44.40] was left to fate,
[02:47.92] Not really knowing how
[02:50.68] the world outside would take it
[02:53.33] when it came,
[02:55.31] And life's the same
[02:58.10] for things we aim,
[03:00.61] are we to blame?
[03:04.20] Don't doubt
[03:05.47] the fact there's life within you,
[03:09.30] Yesterday's endings
[03:10.93] will tomorrow life give you,
[03:14.85] All that dies,
[03:16.69] dies for a reason,
[03:19.60] To put its strength
[03:20.85] into the Season,
[03:24.84] Survival,
[03:28.64]
[03:29.73] Survival,
[03:33.61] They take away
[03:35.47] and they give their
[03:37.36] life as they live,
[03:38.56] The living right to live,
[03:41.12] it's all that we need to show
[03:43.44] The livings right to
[03:46.21] know.
[03:50.71]
[03:51.90] The egg breaks all is out,
[03:54.39] the crawling bird begins
[03:56.34] to scream and shout,
[03:59.81] Where is the parent bird,
[04:02.48] a loneliness arose and heard
[04:04.48] its name ring in
[04:07.70] for live's begin,
[04:09.64] survival win,
[04:12.25] survival's sin.
[04:15.20]
[04:15.47] So soon the evening comes
[04:17.96] and with it runs the aching
[04:20.16] fear of hate
[04:22.97] could someone still remain
[04:25.50] who thinks he still could gain
[04:27.38] by escaping fate?
[04:29.82] it's much too late,
[04:32.28] Don't underrate,
[04:34.76] appreciate.
[04:38.49] Don't doubt
[04:39.35] the fact there's life within you,
[04:42.81] Yesterday's endings
[04:44.61] will tomorrow life give you,
[04:48.28] All that dies,
[04:50.29] dies for a reason,
[04:53.70] To put its strength
[04:54.29] into the Season,
[04:58.30] Survival,
[05:01.95]
[05:03.10] Survival,
[05:06.77] They take away
[05:08.59] and they give their
[05:10.33] life as they live,
[05:11.62] The living right to live,
[05:14.70] it's all that we need to show
[05:16.50] The livings right to know
[05:21.66] All
[05:24.67]
[05:26.92] Survival,
[05:30.49]
[05:31.64] Survival,
[05:35.40] They take away
[05:37.12] and they give their
[05:38.80] life as they live,
[05:39.98] The living right to live,
[05:42.35] it's all that we need to show
[05:44.55] The livings right to know.
[05:47.80] it's all that we have to show
[05:48.82] And we're all going
[05:51.18] And we're all dying
[05:53.52] And we're all going
[05:55.82] And we're all dying
[05:57.96] And we're all going
[06:01.22] somewhere!
[06:05.92]
