More than a Survivor
More than a Survivor
More than a Survivor
Words & Music by Steve Siler
You have lived through something
That no one should have to face
You have shown the kind of courage
That defies the commonplace
Now a future lies before you
So keep holding on to hope
Walking in the light
It’s gonna be alright
You are brave
You are strong
Hold your head up higher
Lift your voice
Sing your song
You are a survivor
You are making a beginning
Where there might have been an end
You have been to hell and back
and learned to trust again
They call you a survivor
But somehow you know there’s more
Hang on to that truth
Your sky is turning blue
You are brave
You are strong
Hold your head up higher
Lift your voice
Sing your song
You are a survivor
Not just a survivor, but a champion
Not just a survivor, but free
Not just a survivor, but thriving
Ready for tomorrow
and whatever will be
You are brave
You are strong
Hold your head up higher
Lift your voice
Sing your song
You are more than a survivor
