Story Behind The Song
i was working in a studio, around Christmas one year, and a lady came by asking "you write songs, right?" and i said "yes" -- she went on to tell me about how she was sick of all the songs on the radio that were missing "something" when it came to talking about missing someone... a little while later, this song came to/through me in one afternoon and i gave her the recording, telling her not to be driving when she listened to it... she came back a few weeks later, noticeable "lighter" and brought me a gift, with a heartfelt "thank you" for writing her this piece of music. i was glad it resonated and helped her through a tough time.

Lyrics
Soul Survivor
by Trance Blackman
I was given no warning
I was given no chance
To say... good-bye.
And now all that remains, is the question: Why?
I awake in the morning
See your picture on the wall
It makes... me cry
But I know with some time, that I will get by
Bridge
Only want to hold you once more
To tell you "I Love You"
Only want to see into your perfect eyes again...
Chorus
'Cause I am your soul survivor
You will never be too far from me
I am your soul survivor
Your memory will live on inside of me... always
So what awaits me tomorrow?
Should I go on with my life?
I'll live for you...
Sometimes I hear your name, how I do miss you...
Now I laugh and I can sing
There is love still in my heart
And it makes me cry...
But I know you are safe, no regrets, no lie
Bridge
Chorus
