i survive

i can feel it comin' now, that same old pain, tryin' to work me like a prisoner, shackled bound and shamed, but in my soul i know, that you give me the strength it takes to, break these chains, i survive, life keeps comin' at me, doesn't break me, i'm never going down, anytime, i need strength i know you'll help me, make it, i survive, don't know what tomorrow brings, don't wann guess, but with you by my side i know i can face, any test, and so i'll honor you by standing tall, and breathing in this love that i've been blessed, that's my promise, won't compromise, you're the truth, that kills the lies, put me through it, i'm not afraid, you rescue me, day by day, with you i can never fake it, won't go down, you help me take it, help me make it
