Survive

(album: Something Big - 2011)

Hoo woo, hoo woo

Anyday now, it's what I kept telling myself
On the last mile, on the road to somewhere
But along the way I (got stopped by)
All the wind and the rain and
To my surprise
And it shook my heart
Blew my mind
I've had to cry so many nights
I've had to hold on for my life
But all I can say now is that I survived

[Chorus:]
I survived, I survived, I survived
I survived, I survived, I survived
Oh, Lord I had a lot on me
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad
I survived, I survived, I survived now

Now hurt and pain were sometimes my company
Separated from those, then I suppose
I didn't have no guarantees
But one thing, I knew for sure was
I've had my share of ups and downs
I made it even though
Oh, it shook my heart
Blew my mind
I've had to cry so many nights
I've had to hold on for my life
But all I can say now is that I survived

[Chorus:]
I survived, I survived, I survived
I survived, I survived, I survived
Oh, Lord I had a lot on me
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad
I survived, I survived, I survived now

I know you heard this message before
I wanna tell you once more
It's alright
I know the road your on might seem long
But I encourage you to hold on, hold on
You will survive

I do believe you will
But all I can say now is that I survived

[Chorus:]
I survived, I survived, I survived
I survived, I survived, I survived
Oh, Lord I had a lot on me
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad
I survived, I survived, I survived now

When the weight of the world's
All on your shoulder
Just remember, remember, remember
To keep your head up and survive

Oh, Lord I had a lot on me
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad
I survived, I survived, I survived now

[Chorus:]
I survived, I survived, I survived
I survived, I survived, I survived
Oh, Lord I had a lot on me
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad
I survived, I survived, I survived now
