I Survive

Holding on with all I have inside for the sake of my life

I'm pulled underwater

Crying out I call for anyone to share this fight

But I'm sinking farther

So weathered, worn and battered, I will stay

Keep treading, as I'm dreading the waves

My hands are tied but I will make it

I'm not shaken

Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive

And the world tries to drown you out

Flooding your life like water-filled lungs

Waiting for the day this storm will pass and leave my life

It only makes me stronger

I don't want to wait, but all that has been on my mind is, how much longer?

So weathered, worn and battered, I will stay

Keep treading, as I'm dreading the waves

My hands are tied but I will make it

I'm not shaken

Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive

And the world tries to drown you out

Flooding your life like water-filled lungs

And the waves try to wash you away

Brace yourself, head high, heart strong

I will keep my head and heart above the waves

My hands are tired but I will make it

I'm not shaken

Even when my mind's exhausted, I survive

My heart is tired but it's not breaking

Now I'm awakened

No matter what the cost is, I survive

And the world tries to drown you out

Flooding your life like water-filled lungs

And the waves try to wash you away

Brace yourself, head high, heart strong
