Verse 1:
You've been drCopped like a dream to the floor
You've been tAmold not to try anymore
But you're wFakened from yesterday's war

And your strCength has been stolen away
And your fAmaith has been worn to a fray
But you lFive to live on one more day
Cause you're a suCrvivor

For the phCone call that tore you apart
For the fAmear that gripped your heart
For the moFment you saw who you are

For the sAmmile like you just don't care
For your hFope in midnight prayer
You're a suCrvivor

Neither dAmemons or angels of light

'Til the dFay heaven calls us home
We are surCvivors

Nothing can Amback us down

C Am F C

Intro: (x2)

Verse 1:

You've been dropped like a dream to the floor

You've been told not to try anymore

But you're wakened from yesterday's war

Cause you're a survivor

And your strength has been stolen away

And your faith has been worn to a fray

But you live to live on one more day

Cause you're a survivor

Chorus:

And nothing can stop you now

Nothing can back you down

You never give up

You never give in

You're a survivor

C Am F C

Verse 2:

For the phone call that tore you apart

For the fear that gripped your heart

For the moment you saw who you are

And what you're made of

For the cancer that stole all your hair

For the smile like you just don't care

For your hope in midnight prayer

You're a survivor

Chorus:

And nothing can stop you now

Nothing can back you down

You never give up

You never give in

You're a survivor

C Am F C

Verse 3:

I'm convinced neither death nor life

Neither demons or angels of light

Shadows present a future bright

Can seperate us

From the love that will lead us on

To the hope when all hope is gone

'Til the day heaven calls us home

We are survivors

Chorus:

And nothing can stop us now

Nothing can back us down

We never give up we never give in

And nothing can stop us now

Nothing can back us down

We never give up we never give in

C Am F C

Cause we are survivors
