“Survive”
Poem and song by YQP ©Yolanda Quiroz, 2024
Verse 1
Survive? Yes, survive,
working hard even when you cry.
The world is difficult, but you have to keep going,
In the darkness, you’ll find the light.
(Pre-Chorus)
Is that what I want?
Is that what it's like?
Try to find your way,
despite the pain and the fight.
(Chorus)
Don’t tell me, just do it,
That’s what we are for.
Don’t make up more excuses and keep moving,
You’ll rise; you’ll get your goals.
Survive, yes, survive,
Even when the tears are in your eyes.
(Verse 2)
Day by day, keep pushing through,
Chasing your dreams, no matter what you lose.
The way is long, but you’ll advance,
if you stand firm and give it all.
(Pre-Chorus)
Is that what I want?
Is that what it’s like?
Fighting for a future,
That’s burning bright.
(Chorus)
Don’t tell me, just do it,
That’s what we are for.
Don’t make up more excuses and keep moving,
You’ll rise; you’ll get your goals.
Survive, yes, survive,
Even when the tears are in your eyes.
(Bridge)
Find the strength in your soul,
The passion in your life,
and you will stand through the struggle,
with you head held high.
(Chorus)
Don’t tell me, just do it,
That’s what we are for.
Don’t make up more excuses and keep moving,
You’ll rise; you’ll get your goals.
Survive, yes, survive,
Even when the tears are in your eyes.
(Outro)
Survive, yes, survive,
working hard even when you cry.
That's what we’re made for,
You are strong, you’ll survive, forevermore.
