"Survive" lyrics
Sushi Soucy & Original Cast of Rockabye Lyrics
(from "Rockabye" soundtrack)
You're on a Delta flight to Barbados
'Cause you've been needing a vacation
They offer you champagne
And how do you say no? Do a little early celebration
Then you hear a concerning sound coming from the engine
The tension builds as you quickly begin
Your doomed descent to the ground
And now you're stranded on an island
So what would you take to survive?
If there was just one thing that you would bring
What would you decide?
Um, eeny, meeny, miny, Adil
What would you decide to bring?
Me? I mean, all right, I guess
(Sung)
I guess my go to answer is matches
Because you're gonna need a fire
But what if you run out?
Well, that's what the catch is
You need unlimited supply
Or you're gonna die on the twentieth night
And the fire's dying with you
And so instead I would slaughter my meal
Just strike rock on the steel of my hatchet
So who needs a stupid match, kid?
That's what I'd take to survive
If there was just one thing that I could bring, that's what I'd decide
So the fire's burning bright and there's not a man in sight
And you're wondering if you can even make it through the night
And the goal for which you strive is simply to stay alive
So what would it take to survive?
Um, Marly, what would you decide to bring?
Oh, okay. Well
(Sung)
Weapons are great, but what about water?
That should be your number one concern
Yes, you're surrounded, but you'd need a filter
Or you could let a fire burn
And boil the salt to the bottom of the pot
No, that's not how that works
You can't make sea water drinkable by boiling it
Wait. Yeah, you can
No you can't
Also, where are you gonna find a bowl to boil the water in?
A bowl? You need a pot
You can boil water in a bowl
Besides, it doesn't matter. You don't have a pot either
Hey guys
Remember we were trying to come to a consensus here?
And that's someone being right
(Sung)
If there was just one thing, that you could bring
What would you decide?
Guys. Guys. Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys
Guys. Guys, guys, guys guys
That's what I'd take to survive
If there was just one thing that I could bring, that's what I'd decide
So the fire's burning bright and there's not a man in sight
And you're wondering if you can even make it through the night
And the goal for which you strive is to simply stay alive
