Des’ree - Darwin Star Lyrics

From a child, he was golden
Now he's a man
Whose looks were stolen
From some glossy page
Promising dreams of pure caviar
Started out, wouldn't listen
His mother tired
Father reasoned 'bout painted on smiles
Reel you in slowly to steal your place

[Chorus:]
Dah, de daah. Yes I trusted you
Do de daah. Yes I trusted you
Inside and out, oh I trusted you
New world age

Try again, feels defeated. Once again
Won't be depleted. You'll survive
True survivor. A darwin star
Turn the key, let me out gently
Into the light, I walk eagerly. I breathe in
I surrender, I'm not afraid

[Chorus:]
I am, now ready to fly away
Give away, gave away. Sometimes
Life it gets in the way. Give away
Given

Nothing to blame
Never has very much to say
Laugh last, laugh longest
I know sometimes life gets in the way
You'll survive. Be strongest
You'll survive, be strongest!
