I'M a Survivor

One step further Two steps back I’m going to hold my head up And not show any lack Yeah, I’m a survivor And I finish what I start And I am a very strong person With a very big heart I trust too easy Always get hurt in the end But I still manage To let my heart unbend I never had a childhood Was put through hell every day But if it wasn’t for my past I wouldn’t be who I am today My mom was an alcoholic My dad was in jail I guess having a bad childhood Is one of the reasons I won’t let myself fail But after all the obstacles I have been through And everything I have had to face I still manage to achieve And put a smile on my face I graduate this year I get to walk across the stage I can start my new adventure And create a brand new page I am proud of myself For how far I have come When all these people Said it couldn’t be done I am a survivor And I finish what I start So I have to figure out the next step And follow my own heart
