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
(I survive)
Flooding your life like water-filled lungs
(I survive)
Waiting for the day
This storm will pass and leave my life
It only makes me stronger
(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
(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
(I survive)
Flooding your life like water-filled lungs
(I survive)
And the waves try to wash you away
(I survive)
Brace yourself, head high, heart strong
I survive
I will keep my
Head and heart above the waves
My hands are tied
But I will make it
(I will make it)
I'm not shaken
(I'm not shaken)
Even when my mind's exhausted
I survive
My heart is tired
But it's not breaking
(It's not breaking)
Now I'm awakened
(I'm awakened)
No matter what the cost is
I survive
And the world tries to drown you out
(I survive)
Flooding your life like water-filled lungs
(I survive)
And the waves try to wash you away
(I survive)
Brace yourself, head high, heart strong
I survive
