Cross a windy bridge One winter night Past embankment gardens Enter warmth and light
Face the music (it's never easy) Forget the chill Face the future (it's never easy) Find the will
If life is worth living It's got to be done One might be forgiven For thinking It's a life on the run Many roads will cross through Many lives But somehow you survive
Look around Picture what's in store Is this the final edit Or is the subject now a bore?
Don't shrug your shoulders (it's always easy) You can't ignore That life is worth living It's still worth a damn One might be forgiven For thinking It's something of a sham Many words may make it sound contrived But somehow we're alive (the survivors) Our heads bowed (the survivors) At memorials for other faces in the crowd
Teachers and artists (it's never easy) And saturday girls In suits or sequins (it's never easy) Or twinsets-and-pearls
If life is worth living It's got to be run As a means of giving Not as a race To be won Many roads will run through Many lives But somehow we'll arrive Many roads will run through Many lives But somewhere we'll survive
