Lyrics

I'll never be an angel

I'll never be a saint, it's true

I'm too busy surviving

Whether it's heaven or hell

I'm gonna be living to tell

So here's my story

No risk, no glory

A little up and down and all around

It's all about survival

I'll never be an angel

I'll never be a saint, it's true

I'm too busy surviving

Whether it's heaven or hell

I'm gonna be living to tell

So here's my question

Does your criticism

Have you caught up in what you cannot see

Well if you give me respect

Then you'll know what to expect

A little up and down and all around

It's all about survival

Up and down and all around

It's all about survival

I'll never be an angel

I'll never be a saint, it's true

I'm too busy surviving

Whether it's heaven or hell

I'm gonna be living to tell

So here's my story

No risk, no glory

A little up and down and all around

It's all about survival

Up and down and all around

It's all about survival

Up and down and all around

It's all about survival

Up and down and all around

It's all about survival

Up and down and all around

I'll never be an angel

Up and down and all around

Survival

Up and down and all around

I'll never be a saint, it's true

Up and down and all around

Survival

Up and down and all around

I'll never be an angel

Up and down and all around

Survival

Up and down and all around

I'll never be a saint, it's true

Up and down and all around

Survival
