I Will Survive · letra

I've had a life of pain and sorrow But I will still be here tomorrow
I will survive, I will survive
And nothing's gonna stop me knowing That love is real, it keeps me going
I will survive, I will survive
When the children are hungry I weep for them, I wanna hold them tight When the shadows grow longer and the cold moves in I turn up my collar and walk into the night
Come to me my little boy You have given me life's greatest joy I will survive, I will survive
This road before us winds beyond the glade Some fall dancing the the slow parade
I will survive, I will survive
As the season go by in my father's world My eyes grow dim I will trust not in the things I see But bow my heart and lift my hands to him Temptation beckons or befalls me Fear and indecision stalls me
I will survive, I will survive
Illusion shines like diamonds glistening My father's watching, he is listening
I will survive, I will survive
If you see me walking slowly like a man who's blind If you speak and I do not look up Then you must forgive me but I've got heaven on my mind Though my days ahead are numbered My life is rich, I have not slumbered I will survive, I will survive
Some hearts are pierced by love long lost Let my heart be pierced by the cross
I will survive, I will survive
Friends may come and friends may go But enemies stay for the late show
I will survive, I will survive
Friendships fail and love's elusive Life goes quickly, time's abusive
I will survive, I will survive
