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
Oh yeah

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
Yeah

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
Ooh ooh
I thank God that I'm surviving
Oh yeah

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 yeah

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
Oh yeah

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
Yeah

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
Ooh ooh
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
Ooh ooh
I thank God that I'm surviving

That I'm a survivor
Survivor
Oh I'm a survivor
Survivor
