You take me out of survival mode; You look at me with such loving eyes; You calm the storms inside my head, Making space for the most beautiful sunrise. For I have lived my life on urgency, And setting goals that are far too high Climb mountains after mountains, Just to get burned out and sigh. But with you, I can breathe easily Stopped racing against an imaginary time My systems slow down in your embrace, And finally, for once, everything feels fine.

Survival Mode (For Samu)
A winner does get beaten But he doesn't succumb to defeat With every punch that lands on him, He feels the pain and he learns from it He avoids being hit by the same error And if he happens to get hit again, he hurts, recovers and gets back at it again Life may knock him down many times But he chooses to bounce back each time It does occur to him to give it all up but He pushes on, strives with blood, sweat and tears Until his set goals are achieved and/or exceeded Only that most never see his struggling phase(s) and they'll think & say it all happened overnight. How he wished that it was that easy.

Resilient
They try to knock me down Shatter me into a million pieces As many times as there are stars In the vast universe I am strong. You are wrong, they say I am Copernicus. The sun is the center of the universe, No matter how powerful I may be I am Wegener. The earth has always been drifting apart Much like your narrow minded logic I am Semmelweis. Wash your hands But the blood on your hands Will remain until the end of time I am strong. They underestimate me, You are nothing but a speck of dust No, no I am capable. I am an achiever. I am strong.

Strong
Spread your wings tonight, And get ready to fly, There is a life changing light, Up there in the sky; If you choose to stay back, Definitely not with me, No one stays in the dark, And end up being free; No matter how much the tears, It won't be enough to wash your pain, So join me lets overcome our fears, There is so much out there to gain; Remember this as we fly, Make up your mind to see the light, All you have to do is aim high, Sucess is the only thing that's right; So if you agree to fly with me, We'll encourage eachother all the way, Until we get there eventually, And live happier lives every other day.
