[Verse 1]

You got to be strong

Even though you feel weak

You got to carry on

Though you wanna give in

And when you get lost

Don't forget where you began

You're a survivor

From a long line of the same

Mmm-mm

Mmm-mm

[Verse 2]

There's no need to rush anything

Don't try to be a machine

Because you might really succeed

And you are a human being

Go outside

And move how your body was made

Like a survivor

From a long line of the same

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Pick up their gift

Held up in helix and spit

At the end of all this

You can't just cave in and quit

No, you got to be strong

Even though you feel weak

You got to carry on

Though you wanna give in

You can't

'Cause you're a survivor

See how you're alive through it all

[Outro]

It's what your every fiber is for

Just to wake up and ride with the sun

Like a survivor

Mmm
