Lyrics You Survive - Luka Bloom

You Survive

A friend in West Cork asked me to write a song about surviving suicide.
This is it
You stood at the edge last night
The dark came in
A need for closure
Crept under your skin
You planned it for days
Simple and clear
Struggling was over
Past the point of fear
Did somebody’s prayer get to
The will to live in you?
You pulled through
You pulled through
So this new morning
Trust in your heart
And know that your life
Is your great work of art
With respect to the light
And the darkness above
May the root of this day
Be love
Be love
Be love
Did somebody’s prayer get to
The will to live in you?
You pulled through
You pulled through
You survived
You survived
You’re here another day
Of precious life
You survive
You survive
You survive
