WE STILL SURVIVE
(Kate Wolf)
We lost one to the bottle
We lost one to the plague
The one who left for Mexico
We never saw again
We lost one after Vietnam
Whose mind just didn't mend
We lost one to the grace of God
And one more to the wind
After all this time
We still survive
In our hearts together
Alone in our lives
One became a dreamer
One became a clown
One of us took everything
That wasn't fastened down
One became a fountain
One burned like a flame
One of us broke every rule
And never was betrayed
Some of us left memories
Some of [us] left pain
Some of us cried and then
Learned to laugh again
Some of us kept going
One of us stood still
Some of us left legacies
Others left a will
