(Aaah - Aaah) 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 (Oooh
aaah) 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
(If life is worth living) It s got to be run (It s got to be run) As a means of giving
(As a means of giving) Not as a race (race) to be won (not to be won) Many roads will run through many lives But somehow we ll arrive (Oooh
aaah
aaah) Many roads will run through many lives But somewhere we ll survive
