from the Wrights, the song is a message of hope and healing.
"WE ARE THE SURVIVORS"
There are those of us
whose mothers have been taken from our arms,
There are those of us
with children we could not keep safe from harm,
There are those of us
who've lived to see our fathers lose their lives,
And each and every one
of us survives.
(chorus)
We are the survivors,left
behind to carry on.
We are the survivors,
joined together we are strong.
We will speak out for
our loved ones who were not given a choice.
We are the survivors,
hear our voice.
Maybe some of us have
brothers who were here but now they're gone,
You can ask about our
sisters, because their memory is strong.
We are sons and we are
daughters, we are husbands, we are wives,
And each and every one
of us survives.
(repeat chorus...)
We are the survivors,
left behind to carry on.
We are the survivors,
joined together we are strong.
We will speak out for
our loved ones who were not given a choice.
We are the survivors,
hear our voice.
With a part of us that
never heals, and a fear of the unknown,
There's a strength in
knowing through it all, you're not alone.
(repeat chorus)
We are the survivors,
left behind to carry on.
We are the survivors,
joined together we are strong.
We will speak out for
our loved ones who were not given a choice.
We are the survivors,
hear our voice.
(repeat chorus...)
