I've been through the fire To see what remained My hands have been bloodied and stained Yet still, here I stand I've kept up the fight Watched the darkness defeated by light Oh-oh My soul cries out Oh-oh-oh My whisper turns into a shout I am a survivor I've already won And come hell or high water Pressure and pain I will fight till I overcome I'm a survivor You wait and you'll see There's no weapon created Not fear, lies, or hatred Will I let get the best of me I look for the hope And truth that remains While life wrestles to keep me in chains I won't take the bait Or ponder the quip Won't take pleasure in the counterfeit Oh-oh My soul cries out Oh-oh-oh My whisper turns into a shout I am a survivor I've already won And come hell or high water Pressure and pain I will fight till I overcome Yeah, I'm a survivor You wait and you'll see There's no weapon created Not fear, lies, or hatred Will I let get the best of me I am a survivor Yeah, I've already won And come hell or high water Pressure and pain I will fight till I overcome Yeah, I'm a survivor You wait and you'll see There's no weapon created Not fear, lies, or hatred Will I let get the best of me I am a survivor Yeah, I've already won And come hell or high water Pressure and pain I will fight till I overcome Yeah, I'm a survivor Just wait and you'll see There's no weapon created Not fear, lies, or hatred Will I let get the best of me
