You Survive - Luka Bloom

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
