I'll survive

I was living each day, without a clue
My life could be saved, with just one move

I tried so hard to see what lies ahead
How could I know that I would face death

As hard as they try
I know I'll survive
I'll survive

The warm smoking gun couldn't take me away
My life was spared, I was blessed that day

Someone's anger and their crazed desire
The beast in man walks him into the fire

As hard as they try
I thank God I'm alive
I'll survive

Do we count all the days that matter
Do we add up all the good times
Don't we try to plan our lives each day?

We carry on without the knowledge
We never know what's in the balance
What we learn should never go away

As hard as they try
I'll never know why
I ain't gonna die

I'll survive, I'll survive, I'll survive, I will survive

I'm alive, I will thrive, I survived
