(Intro) When you survive this, it won’t be 'cause they said you could, Though it's nice to hear those words now and then. When you survive this, it won’t be just for family or friends, But their kindness, at times, will light your way again. (Pre-Chorus) It won’t be the spite that you grip so tight, Though a bit of anger keeps your fire alive. No, when you pull through, it will be for you, Just one more step, keep movin', find your groove. (Chorus) When you survive this, you'll see, Every step was worth it, finally free. You've come so far, now you’ve won, The hardest days are done, the hardest days are done. (Verse 2) On the far shore of this storm, there’s a simpler life, Where the hardest choice is what book to read tonight. Others will need you to shine your light, To remind them they can win this fight.(Pre-Chorus) It won’t be the spite that you grip so tight, Though a bit of anger keeps your fire alive. No, when you pull through, it will be for you, Just one more step, keep movin', find your groove. (Chorus) When you survive this, you'll see, Every step was worth it, finally free. You've come so far, now you’ve won, The hardest days are done, the hardest days are done. (Bridge) Push through with grace and grit, Determination, never quit. Smilin’ 'cause you know the secret now, And one day, you’ll show 'em how.(Final Chorus) When you survive this, you'll see, Every step was worth it, finally free. You've come so far, now you’ve won, The hardest days are done, the hardest days are done. (Outro) You’ll be their candle, their beacon of hope, Even when they’re blind, you’ll help them cope. On the far shore, lookin' back with pride, Knowing you survived, you survived this ride.
