Beyond Survival

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

(Verse 1)

In the shadows, their voices whisper,

Lost in the grind, just trying to get by,

But deep inside, there’s a fire yearning,

Waiting for the spark to light the sky.

(Pre-Chorus)

Push them down, they won't crumble,

But in the ashes, they’ll rise anew,

When hope is shaky, and dreams are humbled,

That’s when the real fight shines through.

(Chorus)

If you push them past survival,

Watch them break the chains that bind,

When the odds are stacked, they’ll find their title,

Unleashing strength you never thought you’d find.

Oh, beyond the limits, they’ll show you,

What survival truly means,

With hearts of lions and spirits so true,

They’ll rise from the dark to meet their needs.

If you push them past survival,

Watch them break the chains that bind.

(Verse 2)

Every struggle, every heartache,

Paves a path to the strength they hide,

In the silence, they’re breaking,

With every tear they’ve cried.

(Pre-Chorus)

Push them down; they won't tremble,

But in their silence, there’s a roar,

When all is lost, they’ll not resemble,

The defeated souls they were before.

(Chorus)

If you push them past survival,

Watch them break the chains that bind,

When the odds are stacked, they’ll find their title,

Unleashing strength you never thought you’d find.

Oh, beyond the limits, they’ll show you,

What survival truly means,

With hearts of lions and spirits so true,

They’ll rise from the dark to meet their needs.

If you push them past survival,

Watch them break the chains that bind.

Watch them break the chains that bind.
