Stayin' Alive

(album: Magnum II - 1979)

Choose your own path that you walk with great care
Your direction will be yours alone to bear
But though it may be long
And many times go wrong
You're on your own, this journey none can share

And there is no other way of staying alive
Just killing time, nowhere to hide
Staying alive, oh, can you decide?
It's always harder where two roads divide

And before us lies a choice that's not too clear
Many voices offer words upon you ear
And running through your head
Are some best left unsaid
Don't listen just to things you'd like to hear

And there is no other way of staying alive
Just killing time, nowhere to hide
Staying alive, oh, can you decide?
It's always harder where two roads divide

Heading slowly through still waters
Dream away
But it's always growing shorter
From the day
Throw your dreams away

None of us on this earth will be here
On our children, will the sentence be severe?
But still we carry on
Doing what we've done
An explanation I just can't see clear

And there is no other way of staying alive
Just killing time, nowhere to hide
Staying alive
Just killing time, nowhere to hide
Staying alive
Just killing time, nowhere to hide
Staying alive, oh, can you decide?
It's always harder where two roads divide
