You'll Never Get to Me

Oh! Sea of hurt, I feel the waves of pain And now the tides come in again I'm caught in a vicious cycle of despair Give you the courage to face another day (oh) Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me And time for a celebration (oh) Overcome with the sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory Time for celebration (oh) Overcome with a sense of elation I sat in silence, I was mourning I said sorry a thousand times I cried aloud to God for all my failings But God seemed deaf as well as blind (oh) Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration (oh) Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory Time for celebration (oh) Overcome with a sense of elation We drank and smoked and talked until the dawn We shared our problems and our food Telling tales of courage and resolution Through all the hardships we've endured (oh) Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration (oh) Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory Time for celebration (oh) Overcome with a sense of elation
