i survive

i can feel it comin' now

that same old pain

tryin' to work me like a prisoner

shackled bound and shamed

but in my soul i know

that you give me the strength it takes to

break these chains

i survive

life keeps comin' at me

doesn't break me

i'm never going down

anytime

i need strength i know you'll help me

make it

i survive

don't know what tomorrow brings

don't wann guess

but with you by my side i know i can face

any test

and so i'll honor you by standing tall

and breathing in this love that i've been blessed

that's my promise

won't compromise

you're the truth

that kills the lies

put me through it

i'm not afraid

you rescue me

day by day

with you i can never fake it

won't go down

you help me take it

help me make it
