Survivor

pushed to the ground

I've been pushed around

you've knocked me to the ground

I've spent half my life

on my knees

But now I can stand alone

I can face tis world

when I need to on my own

I'm a survivor

I know what just to do

I will survive

no matter what you put me through

I'll keep on surviving

till my time on Earth is through

All of those times

I had suicide on my mind

I found out after a time

I would start wondering

If maybe tomorrow

things would start going right

I used to think about my future

then the past would rear its head

Now I've learned to live again

I've stopped wishing to be dead
