SURVIVAL SECRET
(Madonna, Dallas Austin)
I’ll never be an angel
I’ll never be a saint it’s true
I’m too busy surviving
Whether it’s heaven or hell
I’m gonna be living to tell
Here’s my story
No risk no glory
Chorus:
A little up and down and
all around
It’s all about survival
I’ll never be an angel
I’ll never be a saint it’s true
I’m too busy surviving
Whether it’s heaven or hell
I’m gonna be living to tell
So here’s my question
Does your criticism
Have you caught up in
what you cannot see
Well if you give me
respect
Then you’ll know what to
expect
Chorus
I’ll never be an angel
I’ll never be a saint it’s true
I’m too busy surviving
Whether it’s heaven or hell hand
I’m gonna be living to tell It took me much too long to
Here’s my story
No risk no glory

I don’t/don’t care if it’s not (Madonna, Dave Hall) Today is the last day
Herbie Hancock)
Take a bow
right That I’m using words The night is over
To have your arms around These are my hands When the rain’s so full of They’ve gone out This masquerade is getting older
me But what can they give me? life Lost their meaning Light are low
The curtains down
I want to feel what it’s like
These are my eyes Who needs the sky Don’t function anymore There’s no one here
Take all of you inside of meBut they cannot see When the ground’s open (There’s no one in the crowd)
Say your lines
These are my arms wide Traveling But do you feel them
Chorus: But they don’t know tenderness It’s here in your arms Leaving logic and reason Do you mean what you say
In your eyes/Forbidden And I must confess I want to be buried Traveling When there’s no one around
Watching you, watching me
Love That I am usually drawn to sad- You are my sanctuary To the arms of unconscious- One lonely star
In your smile/Forbidden ness ness (One lonely star you don’t know who
you are)
Love And loneliness has never been a Who needs a smile
Forbidden love stranger Chorus: Chorus:
In your kiss/Forbidden Love To me When a tear’s so full of love Let’s get unconscious honey I’ve always been in love with you
If I had one wish love would Who needs a home Let’s get unconscious I guess you’ve always known it’s true
You took my love for granted why oh
feel like this Chorus: With the stars up above Let’s get unconscious honey why
Love tried to welcome me It’s here in your heart Let’s get unconscious The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye, say good-bye
I know that you’re no good But my soul drew back I want to be carried
for me Guilty of lust and sin
Words are useless
You are my sanctuary Make them laugh
That’s why I feel I must con- Love tried to take me in Especically sentences It comes so easy
When you get to the part
fess Who needs the light They don’t stand for anything Where you’re breaking my heart
What’s wrong is why it feels These are my lips With the darkness in your How feel
could they explain how I Hide behind your smile
All the world loves a clown
so right But they whisper sorrow eyes Traveling, traveling--I’m trave- (Just make ‘em smile the whole world
I want to feel your sweet This is my voice Who needs to sleep ling
loves a clown)
Wish you well
caress But it’s telling lies With the stars in the sky Traveling, traveling--leaving I cannot stay
I know how to laugh You deserve an award
Chorus It’s here in your soul logic and reason For the role that you played
But I don’t know happiness I want to be married Traveling, traveling--I’m gonna No more masquerade
And I must confess relax You’re one lonely star
If I only had one wish You are my sanctuary (One lonely star and you don’t know
Instead of spring--it’s always Traveling, traveling--in the who you are)
Love would always feel like winter arms of unconsciousness
this Is all of this pain
And my heart has always been You are my sanctuary so necessary Chorus
Wishin’ on the stars above A lonely hunter Chorus All the world is a stage
Forbidden Love And everyone has their part How
If I only had one dream Love tried to welcome me Who needs the sun Traveling, traveling--in the was I to know
Which way the story’d go
This would be more than it But my soul drew back Who needs the sky arms of unconsciousness How was I to know you break
seems I was covered with dust and sin Who needs to sleep You’d break, you’d break, you’d
break
Forbidden love Love tried to take me in You are my sanctuary And all that you’ve ever learned You’d break my heart
Love tried to break me You are Try to forget
Chorus I’ll never explain again Chours
Instead of spring--it’s always
Heaven forgive me winter
Never forbid me—love And my heart has always been
should always feel like this A lonely hunter
