I'm a Survivor Recorded by: Reba McEntire I was born three months too early The doctor gave me thirty days But I must've had my momma's will And God's amazing grace I guess I'll keep on living Even if this love's to die for 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 CHORUS: 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 CHORUS 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
