The sea was rough
and the going was tough.
Stripped down to my soul
I hadn't yet paid the toll.

My hands were numb,
everybody thought i was dumb.
They called me insane
sailing through that rain.

You gotta be strong, a believer
if you wanna be the survivor.
They don't matter
erase that chatter.

Survive, Survive.

I held on tight,
that was a long night.
my tears were frozen
right by the dozen.

I was alone
and cold to the bone.
I tried not to think,
my mind was on the brink.

And I told myself:
You gotta be strong, a believer,
if you wanna be the survivor.
They don't matter,
erase that chatter.

Survive, Survive.

Life's a trip
you gotta make.
even though,
a lot's at stake.
Take the time,
to ask your heart
what's worth a crime.

You gotta be strong, a believer,
if you wanna be the survivor.
They don't matter,
erase that chatter.

Survive. Survive.

If you wanna be the survivor.
