Baby, I've been lost at sea

I've been in the dark

Oh, I've been on my knees

I've been torn apart

So I thank God that, I, I, I

I thank God that I'm surviving

Look, see, I've had friends of mine

Never made it through

So, for them I'm gon' shine

Yes, I tell the truth

So, I thank God that, I, I, I

I thank God that I'm surviving

I put my hands to the sky

I put my hands to the sky, yeah

And wash the tears from my eyes

The tears from my eyes, yeah

I thank God that I'm surviving

Look now how the flowers bloom

Right up from the dust

Oh, I was underground

I thought all hope was lost

So, I thank God that, I, I, I

I thank God that I'm surviving

Oh, I got swept away

I lost who I was

I acted childishly

I see how dumb that was

So, I thank God that, I, I, I

I thank God that I'm surviving

I put my hands to the sky

I put my hands to the sky, yeah

And wipe the tears from my eyes

The tears from my eyes

Thank God, yeah

I thank God that I'm surviving

I put my hands in the air

My hands in the air, yeah

I made it out on a hope and a prayer

A hope and a prayer, yeah

I thank God that I'm surviving

'Cause who told me when things were coming?

Who brings the Sun in the morning?

Who did it, who did it?

Who keeps my cup overflowing?

Who gives me love so I'm growing?

You did it, you did it

Who gives me strength, keeps me glowing?

Who did it?

Who did it?

Who did it?

Now, who told me when things were coming

Who brings the Sun in the morning?

You did it, you did it

Who keeps my cup overflowing?

Who gives me love so I'm growing?

You did it, you did it

Who gives me strength so I'm growing?

Ay yeah

You did it, you did it

You did it, yeah

Well, I've got so much to give

So, much life to live

Oh, I feel limitless

My heart is infinite

So, I thank God that, I, I, I

That, that I'm a survivor

I put my hands to the sky

I put my hands to the sky, yeah

And wipe the tears from my eyes

The tears from my eyes

I thank God that I'm surviving

That I'm a survivor

Survivor

Oh, I'm a survivor
