Survivor

Verse 1

Heart beating – head reeling – A life that’s spinning out of control

Can’t function – all this junk in me – If there’s one thing I have learned

 

Pre-Chorus 1

It’s to understand what devastating pain can do to you,

Your life trod on before it started to bloom

All you had was – splintered parts inside of you

So you fought to survive

 

Chorus 1

All you knew was hurt – in your deepest part

Trying to defend that little spark

And no one understands why you can’t take part

You had to fight  –  just to survive

The life you’ve never had – has passed you by

 

Verse 2

Now you wake up – start to rise up

Discovering parts in you you never knew

Feel healing – releasing – Hope begins to rise

 

Pre-Chorus 2

You want to understand the devastating things that happened to you

And to take a chance for your life to bloom

And all the splintered parts inside of you

Can come to life

 

Chorus 2

And you’re allowed to hurt – in the deepest part

‘Cause someone is there holding your inner spark

Someone who understands all your heart

He gave His life – to make you alive

 

Chorus 3

And He can heal that hurt – in the deepest part

He is the one holding that inner spark

Jesus understands all of your heart

He gave His life to make you alive

The life you never had – is given to you
