Choose your own path that you walk with great care
  Your direction will be yours alone to bear
  But though it may be long and many times go wrong
  You're on your own, this journey none can share
  
  And there is no other way of stayin' alive
  Just killing time - nowhere to hide
  Stayin' alive - oh, can you decide?
  It's always harder where two roads divide
  
  And before us, lies a choice that's not too clear
  Many voices offer words upon you ear
  And running through your head are some best left unsaid
  Don't listen just to things you'd like to hear
  
  And there is no other way of stayin' alive
  Just killing time - nowhere to hide
  Stayin' alive - oh, can you decide?
  It's always harder where two roads divide
  
  Heading slowly through still waters (dream away)
  But it's always growing shorter (come the day)
  Throw your dreams away
  
  None of us on this earth will be here
  On our children, will the sentence be severe?
  But still we carry on doing what we've done
  An explanation I just can't see clear
  
  And there is no other way of stayin' alive
  Just killing time - nowhere to hide
  Stayin' alive - oh!
  Just killing time - nowhere to hide
  Stayin' alive - oh!
  Just killing time - nowhere to hide
  Stayin' alive - oh, can you decide?
  It's always harder where two roads divide
