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 (My story)
No risk, no glory (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 (My question)
Does your criticism (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

No risk, no glory (No glory)

Survival is Lady Madonna's most autobiographical life story/art song! In this Ciccone art piece, Madonna will Cry, Live to Tell and Survive the best way she knows how!-no matter what controversy she faces! Madonna has led a beautiful American Life because that Ray of Light for this Beautiful Stranger keeps her going. She ultimately writes "A Little Up, Down and all around-Survival!"-and we somehow believe her!
