Survivor
(No laugh without tears
No glad without sad
No calm without fears
No good without bad)
*Knocked flat on my rear
And found understandin’
Oh yeah, I'm still here
Oh YEAH, I'm still standin’
(No well without ill
No near without far
No warm without chill
No heal without scar)
*God's will to survive
His hard-knockin’ school
Cruel world, I'm alive
And I'm comin' for YOU
(No profit without cost
No clean without stain
No found without lost
No relief without pain)
*So glad I got
So honored to suffer
What don't do me in
Just makes me tougher
"What does not kill me, makes me stronger" - Friedrich Nietzsche
