Send "Staying Alive" Ringtone to Cell

I've decided tonight
I'm staying alive
Just kicking and screaming
I'm, I'm staying alive
Blood boiling and streaming
There are things
Far to dark to comprehend
Sleep on it one more night
My sad old friend

Alive
I'm staying alive
Alive
I'm staying alive
Kicking and screaming
Blood boiling and streaming
Staying alive

Doo do doo do doo do doo do

The worst is over

Send "Staying Alive" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:A friend gave me this CD the other day, and last night I listened the whole way through. This song gives me chills. I've listened to this particular song over and over.


    There are things far too dark to comprehend
    Sleep on it one more night, one more night
    My sad old friend


    ^That means so much to me. I recently got out of a very dark part of my life, and I haven't cried since that period, but last night, hearing that song, I got choked up.



    Very special song.

    General Comment:I don't know if any other song could be so powerful with such few lyrics. The music itself is perfect to convey every emotion of the human condition.

    General Comment:i agree with stupid_name.

    this song for me is very comforting. it makes me think about how little the things that are bothering me are, and helps me get through them.
