[Verse 1]

Shake off the pain

Get back on your feet again

It flooded when you prayed for rain

You prayed for rain

The well's runnin’ dry

Hell, so am I

I won't give up this time

No, not this time

[Chorus]

'Cause all my friends, we were born survivors

And every time I close my eyes, I’m dreamin' 'bout tomorrow

You know some things will never change

I think about it when I pray for rain

[Verse 2]

The rain turned to hail

Cold, dark, and pale

It beat me as I fell

Lord, I fell

The sun sets

And twilight hugs the ground

Oh, we won't let lonely bring us down

Bring us down

[Chorus]

'Cause all my friends, we were born survivors

And every time I close my eyes, I'm dreamin' 'bout tomorrow

You know some things will never change

I think about it when I pray for rain

Oh, some things will never change

Think about it when you pray for rain

Pray for rain

[Verse 3]

Shake off the pain (Shake off the pain)

Get back on your feet again (Back on your feet again)

It flooded when you prayed for rain

You prayed for rain

Well, [if it’s ever?] too late

Well, hell will have to wait

Well, it won’t get me today

Oh, not today

[Chorus]

All my friends, we were born survivors

And every time I close my eyes, I'm dreamin’ 'bout tomorrow

You know some things will never change

I think about it when I pray for rain

Oh, some things will never change

I think about it when I pray for rain

[Outro]

'Cause all my friends, we were born survivors

And every time we close our eyes, we're dreamin’ 'bout tomorrow
