I was born three months too earlyThe doctor gave me 30 daysBut I must have had my momma's willAnd God's amazing graceI guess I'll keep on livingEven if this love's to die for'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryingAnd you're walking outAnd I'm not trying to change your mind'Cause I was born to be
The baby girl without a chanceA victim of the circumstanceThe one who ought to give upBut she's just too hard-headedA single mom who works two jobsWho loves her kids and never stopsWith gentle hands and a heart of a fighterI'm a survivor
I don't believe in self-pityIt only brings you downMay be the queen of broken heartsBut I don't hide behind the crownWhen the deck is stacked against meI just play a different gameMy roots are planted in the pastAnd though my life is changing fastWho I am is who I want to be
The baby girl without a chanceA victim of the circumstanceThe one who ought to give upBut she's just too hard-headedA single mom who works two jobsWho loves her kids and never stopsWith gentle hands and a heart of a fighterI'm a survivor
Oh, a single mom who works two jobsWho loves her kids and never stopWith gentle hands and a heart of a fighterI'm a survivorBut I must have had my mamma's will and God's amazing grace
I'm a survivorI'm a survivor ooh-ooh-ooh
