Survivor are an American rock band formed in Chicago in 1978 by Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan. The band achieved its best
success in the 1980s, producing many charting singles, especially in the United
States. The band is best-known for its
double-platinum-certified 1982 hit "Eye of the Tiger",
the theme song for the 1982 motion picture Rocky III;
that single spent six weeks at number one in the US.
The band continued to chart in the mid-1980s with singles like "Burning
Heart" (US number 2), "The Search Is Over"
(US number 4), "High on
You" (US number 8), "Is This
Love" (US number 9), and "I Can't Hold Back"
(US number 13).
"Ever Since the World Began" is a power ballad by
American rock band Survivor,
released in 1982 from the group's third album Eye of the
Tiger. Composed by the band's guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboardist Jim Peterik,
the song was written for someone fighting against cancer; Frankie Sullivan said
in an interview that a member of his immediate family was battling the disease
and later succumbed to it. He said the song had a lot of true meaning to him. It
also had a lot of significance for co-writer Jim Peterik, as it was one of the
final songs he played for his father before the latter's death shortly before
the Eye of the Tiger album's release.
I'll never know what
brought me here
As if somebody led my hand
It seems I hardly had to steer
My course was planned
And destiny, it guides us all
And by it's hand we rise and fall
But only for a moment
Time enough to catch our breath again
And we're just
another piece of the puzzle
Just another part of the plan
How one life touches the other
Is so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We try and go as far as we can
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began
Taken in the times
gone by
We wonder how it all began
We never know and still we try
To understand
And even though the seasons change
The reasons shall remain the same
It's love that keeps us holding on
Till we can see the sun again
And we're just another
piece of the puzzle
Just another part of the plan
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began
And I stand alone a
man of stone
Against the driving rain
And the night, it's got your number
And the wind, it cries your name
And we search for clues, win or lose
In this we're all the same
The hope still burns eternal
We're the keeper of the flame...
And we're just
another piece of the puzzle
Just another part of the plan
How one life touches the other
Is so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We try and go as far as we can
And we have waited for this moment in time
Ever since the world began...
