[Verse]
I was living each day without a clue
Life could be saved with just one move
I tried so hard to see what lies ahead
How could I know that I would face death
As hard as they try
Know I’ll survive
I’ll survive
[Verse]
A warm smoking gun couldn’t take me away
Life was spared, I was blessed that day
Someone’s anger, and their crazed desire
Beast in man walks him into the fire
Hard as they try
Thank God I’m alive
I’ll survive
Do we count all the days that matter?
Do we add up all the good times?
Don’t we try to plan our lives each day?
We carry on without the knowledge?
We never know what’s in the balance?
What we learn should never go away
Hard as they try
Never know why
I ain’t gonna die
I’ll survive
I’ll survive
I’ll survive
Do we count all the days that matter?
Do we add up all the good (I will survive) times
Don’t we try to plan our lives each day?
We carry on without the knowledge?
We never know what’s in the balance
What we learn should never go away
I’m alive, I will thrive, I survived
I’m alive, I will thrive, I survived
I’m alive, I will thrive, I survived
