I'm A Survivor

I was born three months too early

The doctor gave me thirty days

But I must've had my momma's will

And God's amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on living

Even if this love's to die for

Cause your bags are packed

And I ain't crying

You're walkin out

And I'm not trying

To change your mind

'Cause I was born to be

The baby girl without a chance

A victim of circumstance

The one who ought to give up

But she's just to hard headed

A single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands

And the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self pity

It only brings you down

Maybe the Queen of broken hearts

But I don't hide behind the crown

When the deck is stacked against me

I just play a different game

My roots are planted in the past

And though my life is changin' fast

Who I am is who I wanna be

The baby girl with out a chance

A victim of circumstance

The one who oughta give up

But she's just too hard headed

A single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands

And the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

Ooh a single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

With gentle hands

And the heart of a fighter

I'm a survivor

But I must've had my momma's will

And God's amazing grace (I'm a survivor)
