Fight to Survive (The Overview Effect)
[Intro: Simone Simons]
We set out to explore the moon
And instead discovered the Earth
Takeoff in three, two, one
Go!
[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
Within a heart of joy grow possibilities
To transcend inflicted boundaries
We will have to move beyond
All fears that do pull us down
I try to understand why I can't see it all
While I navigate through outer space
I hope we survive the fall
We'll need to unite them all
[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
Does peace exist in chaos?
Do hearts believe that fate is on our side?
Are we unified?
[Chorus: Simone Simons]
The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive
[Post-Chorus: Simone Simons]
I will fight to survive
[Verse 2: Simone Simons]
We must navigate through this complexity
While we search for our stability
We'll have to endure it all
To find that we're powerful
I try to understand, but I can't see it all
While surrounded by this emptiness
I bear all the weight of life
Walking on fragile sheets of ice
[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
Find stillness in the chaos
Our hearts should trust that we can turn the tide
We are unified
[Chorus: Simone Simons]
The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive
[Post-Chorus: Simone Simons]
I will fight to survive
Let us turn the tide
We are unified
[Pre-Breakdown: Mark Jansen]
I am, because we are
[Breakdown: Mark Jansen]
Unified
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude: Simone Simons]
In every moment we will find
Signs of the divine
In every heartbeat lies a story
Shine just as we are
Be just as we are
One on this journey
Our integrity is our great strength
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Simone Simons]
The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
We are alive
Refine the art of our life
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive
[Post-Chorus: Simone Simons]
I will fight to survive
Let us unify
We are one and alive
Let us turn the tide
We are ready to
Fight
