I wasn’t the smartest.
I wasn’t the swiftest.
But I learned the drill.
I knew my hiding place.
Everyone running.
Everyone screaming.
Then the monster came,
Wearing Adam’s face.
Danny couldn’t lift his head.
He turned my way and softly said,
“Remember me. I was your friend.”
Now I’m the survivor.
I’m the survivor.
Though sometimes you know
I wish it wasn’t so.
But I’m the survivor.
I’m the survivor.
And I carry it with me
Wherever I go.
Wherever I go.
I wasn’t the fastest.
I wasn’t the fiercest.
Still I gave my best
To hold that patch of ground.
All of us crawling.
All of us falling.
As the fire and lead rained
Nightmares all around.
The sergeant nearly made it free.
His final order came to me:
“Remember me. I was your friend.”
Now I’m the survivor.
I’m the survivor.
Though sometimes you know
I wish it wasn’t so.
But I’m the survivor.
I’m the survivor.
And I carry it with me
Wherever I go.
Wherever I go.
I wasn’t the brightest.
I wasn’t the bravest.
I loved you more
Than I knew how to say.
I couldn’t explain it.
I couldn’t contain it.
I just knew I had to
Be there every day.
Life and breath just slip away.
I held your hand. I heard you say,
“Remember me. I’ll always be your friend.”
Now I’m the survivor.
I’m the survivor.
Though sometimes you know
I wish it wasn’t so.
But I’m the survivor.
I’m the survivor.
And I carry you with me
Wherever I go.
Wherever I go.
