lyrics

Sometimes I wonder how we ended up
in the place that we happen to be
Fools in power, holy men in the streets
But I guess that’s just our history

And wiser men have always led their people
To the places I long to go
So if this movement is to move any further
Then Love is what I must know

To get there will take some time
But someday we’ll all be free
Just don’t leave your heart behind
‘Cause Survival Is Victory

Survive and claim your victory
Dig up your heart, and be set free
Cause you are a miracle on this earth
And your spirit cannot stay in the dirt

Well I know you always told me to roll with the changes
But don’t go with the flow
I take it in every time my beat rearranges
But there’s still so little I know

So I’ll swim against the tide, but I’ll catch the roaring waves
As they ride on through
And I can take a few hits from the lingering hurt
Cause Love is what I must do

To get there will take some time
But someday we’ll all be free
Just don’t leave your heart behind
‘Cause Survival Is Victory

Survive and claim your victory
Dig up your heart, and be set free
Cause you are a miracle on this earth
And your spirit cannot stay in the dirt

Survive and claim your victory
Dig up your heart, and be set free
Cause mountains will crumble in the end
But your Spirit can rise and rise again

I can be bruised and I can be bent
But I won’t be broken cause I’ve been sent
To break the chains of destiny
That they have manifested for me

To get there will take some time
But someday we’ll all be free
Just don’t leave your heart behind
‘Cause Survival Is Victory

Survive and claim your victory
Dig up your heart, and be set free
Cause you are a miracle on this earth
And your spirit cannot stay in the dirt

Survive and claim your victory
Dig up your heart, and be set free
Cause mountains will crumble in the end
But your Spirit can rise and rise again
