I’m Not The Sole Survivor


I’m not the sole survivor
that has lost more than won
I’m not the sole survivor
this has happened to everyone
I’m not the sole survivor
on a tiny boat at sea
I’m not the sole survivor
a boat smashed to debris
I’m not the sole survivor
that’s had a heart to break
I’m not the sole survivor
we all have risk we take
I’m not the sole survivor
killed off in romance
I’m not the sole survivor
yet still loves to dance
I’m not the sole survivor
who has been through pain
I’m not the sole survivor
where scars still remain
I’m not the sole survivor
and for reasons I have shown
I’m not the sole survivor
so I don’t feel so all alone

yes, we've all been through our own private wars, this is deep, helen.
