Survivor Lyrics


Emeli Sande Survivor




[Verse 1]
Baby, I been lost at sea
I 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

[Verse 2]
Look, see I've had friends of mine
Never made it through
So for them, I'm gon' shine
Yes, I tell the truth
Oh, I thank God that I, I, I
I thank God that I'm surviving, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I put my hands to the sky
I put my hands to the sky, yeah
I wipe the tears from my eyes
The tears from my eyes, yeah
Ooh, ooh
I thank God that I'm surviving, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
Look now how the flowers bloom
Rise 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

[Verse 4]
Oh, I got swept away
I lost who I was
I acted childishly
See how dumb that was
So I thank God that I, I, I
I thank God that I'm surviving, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I put my hands to the sky
I put my hands to the sky, yeah
I 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

[Bridge]
'Cause who told me when things are 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, keep me glowing?
Who did it?
Who did it?
Who did it?
Now, who told me when things are 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?
Hey, yeah
Who did it? You did it
You did it

[Verse 4]
I 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

[Chorus]
I put my hands to the sky
I put my hands to the sky, yeah
I wipe the tears from my eyes
The tears from my eyes
Ooh, ooh
I thank God that I'm surviving

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm a survivor
Survivor
Oh, I'm a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
Survivor
