Strength to Survive

STRENGTH TO SURVIVE Written and performed by Toronzo Cannon (Toronzo Cannon, Cannonball Express Records Admin. by Small Scale Music, ASCAP) Things are not always what they seem Real life is getting in the way of my dreams I get a little taste of what I feel But get a heavy dose of what is real I feel tired, I feel left out and set aside I'm trying to find the strength to survive When I'm looking in my mirror, I don't like what I see A broken man staring right back at me I need a plan and a little good luck To see me through, see me through when times get rough I feel tired, I feel left out and set aside I'm trying to find the strength to survive My woman and bills are all in my face They both worry me and want to be paid I ain't got much, baby, but it's more than you need So don't forget, girl, you are the one that picked me I feel tired, I feel left out and set aside I'm trying to find the strength to survive I stopped feeling sorry for myself It's up to me and only me and no one else My soul was dead, now my spirit's alive I found the strength, the strength to survive I'm not tired, I'm not left out or set aside I finally found the strength, the strength to survive
