I am a survivor

I thought when I grew up I would be a shiny knight

but instead I have become a beaten warrior

who has had no other option than to fight because the world really knows how to torture

there have been many early mornings working hard in silence 

and this hard work has defined who I am 

like my savior not a lion but instead only a lamb

i have been counted as the underdog my whole life and the odds have put me to the test 

And he is the only weapon I need, I don't need a knife

I am a survivor

I am a striver

I am the one who took the path less chosen 

I am the one who sees fear and won't be frozen 

I am the one that was underestimated but I am also the one who knows that success is long awaited

I am the kid who gets knocked down seven times but gets up eight

because I know that in this world you ain't in charge of your own fate

So go ahead and open a dictionary and take a look at my name

and you will find that in my life I was never after the fame

but I was the one whose eyes always had a flame because I am the one who didn't want to leave the world the same.
