I've been spending way too much time
Under street lights, looking back
It was you that I heard in the night
I was hoping that you'd be on my side
(Pre-Chorus)
I finally figured out what they mean
With those words 'Take a bow', 'Leave me be', 'Go on now'
This is exactly where you're meant to be
Just remember who you are, who you are
(Chorus)
I said, "I will survive"
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
(Verse 2)
It took a long time but I've made up my mind
Got something to live for, not just to survive
I know I'll make it through, make it through
(Pre-Chorus)
I finally figured out what they mean
With those words "Take a bow", "Leave me be", "Go on now"
This is exactly where you're meant to be
Just remember who you are, who you are
(Bridge)
Sometimes it's hard, hard, yeah, it's hard sometimes
But I gotta keep on going if I want a good life
I know I'm gonna make it, just gotta keep believing
I'll find a way to get there if I keep on believing
(Chorus)
I said, "I will survive"
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
(Chorus)
I said, "I will survive"
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
(Outro)
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive, hey
