Survivors Guilt
I didn't do anything wrong at all
It's not even my fault
I was just born with the best of luck
Or was it luck at all?
With all of the death in this world
Why am I still alive?
It's like I have survivors guilt
When there was nothing to survive
Is there a reason to this madness?
A reason I survived?
Is there a purpose for my being here?
A reason I'm still alive?
Am I fulfilling my destiny
Or simply staying still?
Or was it just purely luck?
With no reason at all
What if I go to heaven, leaving behind
A duty that was here for me
That was all mine
Everything was in my favor, but I let it go to waste
Because I never knew if it was luck
Or if there was a reason I survived
Please God will you tell me
The reason I've survived
So I can live my life knowing
There's a reason that I thrive
So I can go to bed knowing
I've done what I'm here to do
To honor those who've passed on
And now spending their lives with you
