History is written at the hands of those who win
The battle must be over for the writing to begin
Take a piece of paper, open up a vein
The feather and the finger pulls against the grain
All my story now belongs to me
I will try to build a better life for me
No one else will know what I could see
I am my survivor and you will be my history
Memories are fading even as I speak
I am not the child who turned the other cheek
Power to the people throwing off the chains
Love was all we wanted and only truth remains
All my story now belongs to me
I will try to build a better life for me
No one else will know what I could see
I am my survivor and you will be my history
You will be the lesson I wish I never learned
Love will be the reason your reign was overturned
All my story now belongs to me
I will try to build a better life for me
No one else will know what I could see
I am my survivor and you will be my history
Oh, I am my survivor and you will be my history
Oh, I am my survivor and you are just my history
