I will Survive Songtext
von Leslie Satcher

Well some have broken my back for a full days work
And then acted like I did not earn my pay
Some have used their best foot just to kick me when I′m down
I've been treated like I do not know my place
Well I′ve had feast and famine took help from friends and family
But I've learned how to dine on my own pride
But if the good Lord helps those who help themselves
Then there ain't no storm I can′t out ride

I will survive, I will survive
Oh even if what′s rightly mine I am denied
Well I may turn the other cheek and I might take it on the chin
But baby I'm carved out to fight and I will survive


Well I′ve had lovers leave me and my own heart deceive me
I've had times so tight I couldn′t afford to cry
Yeah I have pulled myself up from the backside of the tracks
To get hit by every train that passed me by
But I will not let ol' brother trouble get me down
Cause I′m a hard headed fool who still believes
That someday somehow we all get back what we give out
So until I get what's coming to me

I will survive, I will survive
Oh even if what's rightly mine I am denied
Well I may turn the other cheek and I might take it on the chin
But baby I′m carved out to fight and I will survive

I will survive, I will survive
Oh even if what′s rightly mine I am denied
Well I may turn the other cheek and I might take it on the chin
But baby I'm carved out to fight and I will survive
