I Can Survive - Triumph

Well, my teacher told me, «Boy, you’re no good

Because you don’t do what you should

You better shape up, or you’re gonna fail»

But I said, «I'm leavin' 'cause this is a jail»

And I know what you’re thinkin'

But don’t pity me, oh no

I’ll be better off out on my own

I can survive

I know that I can survive just fine

I said, I can survive

I said, I can survive on my own

They tried to tell me, they tried to sell me

«Play music like this, if you want to be smart»

But I said, «Listen, here’s what you’re missin'

Music’s got to have a heart»

They put me through many changes

Faces and names are clear

But I’ll just leave my music

Ringin' louder in their ears

I can survive

I know that I can survive just fine

I can survive

I know that I can survive just fine

Yeah, I can survive

Baby, I can survive on my own

Said I can survive

Now you should know just what to do

Don’t let other people take advantage of you now

Don’t think twice, no, don’t hesitate

Shoot for the top, you gotta deal with fate

And I know you’ll feel understand

And I know that you’ll understand

You got the power, baby

In your hands, yeah

I can survive

Baby, I can survive just fine

I know, I can survive

Baby, I can survive on my own

I can survive

Baby, I can survive just fine

I can survive

I said, I can survive

I can survive

I know, I can survive
