Survival is my victory

Oh!
Sea of hurt I feel the waves of pain
And now the tide’s come in again
Caught in vicious cycle of despair
Give me the courage to face anoth­er day—Oh!

Oh sing a song of joy
Sweet child­hood nev­er desert me
Time for celebration—Oh!
over­come with a sense of elation
I’ll nev­er let you get to me
Sur­vival is my victory
Time for celebration—Oh!
over­come with a sense of elation

I sat in silence I was mourning
I said sor­ry a thou­sand times
I cried aloud to God for all my failings
But God seemed deaf as well as blind—Oh!

Oh sing a song of joy
Sweet child­hood nev­er desert me
Time for celebration—Oh!
over­come with a sense of elation
I’ll nev­er let you get to me
Sur­vival is my victory
Time for celebration—Oh!
over­come with a sense of elation

We sat and drank and smoked until the dawn
We shared our prob­lems and our food
Telling tales of courage and resolution
Through all the hard­ships we’ve endured.

Oh sing a song of joy
Sweet child­hood nev­er desert me
Time for celebration—Oh!
over­come with a sense of elation
I’ll nev­er let you get to me
Sur­vival is my victory
Time for celebration—Oh!
over­come with a sense of elation
