Cause your bags are packed And I ain't crying You're walkin 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 circumstance
The one who ought to give up But she's just to hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands And the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor
I don't believe in self pity
It only brings you down
Maybe 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 changin' fast
Who I am is who I wanna be
The baby girl with out a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta 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 the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor
Ooh a single mom who works two jobs Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands And the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor
But I must've had my momma's will
And God's amazing grace (I'm a survivor)
(I'm a survivor)
