| I’ve had a life of pain and sorrow
|
| But I will still be here tomorrow
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| And nothing’s gonna stop me knowing
|
| That love is real, it keeps me going
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| When the children are hungry I weep for them, I wanna hold them tight
|
| When the shadows grow longer and the cold moves in
|
| I turn up my collar and walk into the night
|
| Come to me my little boy
|
| You have given me life’s greatest joy
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| This road before us winds beyond the glade
|
| Some fall dancing the the slow parade
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| As the season go by in my father’s world
|
| My eyes grow dim
|
| I will trust not in the things I see
|
| But bow my heart and lift my hands to him
|
| Temptation beckons or befalls me
|
| Fear and indecision stalls me
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| Illusion shines like diamonds glistening
|
| My father’s watching, he is listening
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| If you see me walking slowly like a man who’s blind
|
| If you speak and I do not look up
|
| Then you must forgive me but I’ve got heaven on my mind
|
| Though my days ahead are numbered
|
| My life is rich, I have not slumbered
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| Some hearts are pierced by love long lost
|
| Let my heart be pierced by the cross
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| Friends may come and friends may go
|
| But enemies stay for the late show
|
| I will survive, I will survive
|
| Friendships fail and love’s elusive
|
| Life goes quickly, time’s abusive
|
| I will survive, I will survive |
