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.
