I am survival
Rough and bold
The spirit that holds
Men and animals
In a constant self of I've
To stay alive

Regardless of species
The basic instinct
Not to be extinct
Across the seventh seas
Is a natural strength
I carry to any length

Adapting to the environments
With a will of I can
Persisting in a lifespan
To brave the elements
In the wild abandon
To live on

Thrown against the wind
With an awful roar
Like that of the Dinosaurs
And feeling like I've been skinned
Scraped off the history of the dodos
I went running with the buffaloes

Watch me under pressure
On the far side of darkness
Where death disgraced the beingness
Into the wide yonder
Finding the to do
For life to come through

Listen to my name being hurled
Crawling from the mud
Out of the field of blood
In every corner of the world
As courage comes in need
A friend indeed

Common custom to my usage
The heart of a rebel
Both in body and soul
As sentient savage
Is who I am
Facing the test of time
