If This World Survives Songtext / Lyric

If this world survives

And every other day I think it might

In good part it will be

Because of the great souls in our community






There are a lot of them, I've seen them walk

In lonely thousands down the city streets

Or in the rain

Or turn the handle of a print machine

Or empty their pockets as the plate comes by



Or gaze into the camera's eye

And answer the question

Will the world survive? And they have said

We'll try, we'll try, we'll try, it's impermanent, we'll try
