I Survived Lyrics - Fragile - Midge Ure

I'll count the things that matter 

As I gaze across an empty sky 

Writing names and lists in letters 

Upon the papers in my hand 

And I was lost and I was scared 

Completely unprepared 

For the war I'd just been through 

And I would shade the light from on my eyes 

Bowed my head until I'd realised 

That I'd survived 

I'd survived 

Watch the hands move slowly 

Over numbers and blank faces 

As the shadows slide across my walls 

See my one time friend and enemy 

Smile in his defeat 

I'll watch him fall 

And I was dead and I was gone 

With no strength to carry on 

As I sipped another sip away 

Then I raised my hands up to the skies 

And I closed my eyes and realised 

I survived 

I survived 

I survived
