The Survival Cha Cha

Is life really that easy for you
Or do you make it look so
Is there anyone else that is struggling too
Or am I all alone

Because you, you look so at ease
While I, am down on my knees

Was it a bad day you can't escape
Or the life you were born to
Is it a job to which you feel enslaved
Or how the world defines you

But you, you just seem to thrive
While I, am trying to survive

How do you always stand so tall
Or on the inside do you feel so small
Does life tend to beat you down
Till you're paralyzed and on the ground

No you, you look so at ease
While I, am down on my knees
No you, just seem to thrive
While I, am trying to survive
