I'm a Survivor

I was born three months too early, the doctor gave me thirty days

But I must've had my mama's will and God's amazin' grace

I guess I'll keep on livin' even if this love's to die for

'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'

You're walkin' out and I'm not tryin'

To change your mind 'cause I was born to be

The baby girl without a chance, a victim of circumstance

The one who oughta give up, but she's just too hardheaded

A single mom who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self pity, it only brings you down

May be the queen of broken hearts, but I don't hide behind the crowd

When the deck is stacked against me, I just play a different game

My roots are planted in the past

And though my life is changin' fast

Who I am is who I wanna be

The baby girl without a chance, a victim of circumstance

The one who oughta give up, but she's just too hardheaded

A single mom who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

Ah, a single mom who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

But I must've had my mama's will and God's amazin' grace (I'm a survivor)

I'm a survivor
