"Survive" lyrics

Ooh, ooh

"Any day now" is what I kept tellin' 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, oh (They knew my name)

(And it shook my heart) Blew my mind
(I had to cry) So many nights
I had to hold on for my life but
But all I can say now is that I survived

I survived, I survived, I survived (Mm)
I survived, I survived, I survived
Oh, you know 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, that I knew for sure was
That I've had my share of ups and downs
I made it even though

(And it shook my heart) Blew my mind
(I had to cry) So many nights
I've had to hold on for my life but
But all I can say now is that I survived

I survived, I survived (Ooh), I survived (I survived)
I survived (Oh, yeah, yeah), I survived, I survived (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh, Lord, I had a lot on me
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad (I'm so glad)
I survived, I survived (Oh yeah), I survived now (whoa, whoa)

I know you heard this message before (Before)
I wanna tell you once more (It's alright)
Alright, you survived (You will)
I know the road you're on might seem long
But I encourage you to hold on, hold on (You survived)
You will survive
I do believe you will
But all I can say now is that I survived (Hey)

I survived (I survived, yeah), I survived, I survived (Oh, I made it through, yeah)
I survived (I survived), I survived, I survived
Oh, you know I had a lot on me
Truth be told (Ooh), it almost broke me (Almost broke me all)
But I'm so glad (But I'm so glad)
I survived, I survived (I survived), I survived now (I survived, yeah)

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

Oh, you know I had a lot on me (On me)
Truth be told, it almost broke me
But I'm so glad (Oh, but I)
I survived (Survived), I survived, I survived now (I)

I survived (And can I just testify), I survived, I survived (Ooh, Lord, I)
I survived (I), I survived, I survived (I survived)
Oh, you know I had a lot on me (It was a lot on me)
Truth be told, it almost broke me (It almost broke me but I)
But I'm so glad (But I)
I survived (But I), I survived (I survived), I survived now
