I'm A Survivor

I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me 30 days
But I must have had my momma′s willAnd God's amazing grace
I guess I′ll keep on living
Even if this love's to die for
'Cause your bags are packed and I ain′t crying
And you′re walking out
And I'm not trying to change your mind
′Cause I was born to be

The baby girl without a chance
A victim of the circumstance
The one who ought to give up
But she's just too hard-headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
I′m a survivor

I don't believe in self-pity
It only brings you down
May be the queen of broken hearts
But I don′t hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changing fast
Who I am is who I want to be

The baby girl without a chance
A victim of the circumstance
The one who ought to give up
But she's just too hard-headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

Oh, a single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stop
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
I′m a survivor
But I must have had my mamma′s will and God's amazing grace

I′m a survivor
I'm a survivor ooh-ooh-ooh
