I Will Survive – Mary Misfits

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I don’t know how my
Needs will be satisfied
But then my Higher Power said
That all my worrying was wrong
And I grew strong, I knew They’d
Help me get along.

And now I trust, trust in Their Grace

And knowing that They care for me
Puts a smile upon my face
I had to learn to trust them more
I had to see they’d care for me
Now I know that I am loved and
God will not abandon me

Yes now I know, I know for sure

My Higher Power
Won’t let me suffer anymore
They are the one
That know just what I need inside
And my faith won’t crumble
My trust in Them will never die.

And I know I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I have
faith in Them I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
And we’ll survive, we will survive,
Hey hey…

INSTRUMENTAL

It took all the faith I had

Not to fall apart
I tried so hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent, oh, so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

And you see me, somebody new

I’m not that chained-up person
That’s confused on what to do.
And so you too could trust in them
Because They want you to be free
And They promise They’ll be there for you
If you would just believe.

And I know I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I have
faith in Them I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
And we’ll survive,
(we will survive)
SLOW

And I know I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I have
faith in Them I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
And we’ll survive,
We will survive!

INSTRUMENTAL

A CAPELLA
Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
