You are my survivor; you'll set the world on fire
You'll get by little child if you play a little wiser
Set the world alight; yeah start riots; take it higher
Yeah you are my survivor
I ran as fast as the wind could carry me on
Through the murky streets, the dim lamps and thick fog
They took me through the shark infested where I found myself before
A fundamentalist group who welcomed me with open arms
They said come in young child, now you will learn of the holy
How to speak in tongues if the lord considers you worthy
We are born again although I thought they were crazy
I kept it to myself had no need for their lord to save me
Chorus
It's just that life at home was tough and even tougher growing up
It made me mad I'd lose all control I was confused had had enough
And my pop he was distraught he said did I not show enough love
Or was it a little too tough love to help you to grow up
Did I beat you down, how did I make you feel honey
I've spent all of my youth and I've burnt all my money
I've fed so many mouths and now I'm ready to check out
But you are going to be alright and of this there is no doubt
Chorus
I went it alone through the woods deserts and jungles
Paying heed to-the-words-of-the-wise-man my friends called him uncle
He'd tell us to concentrate on saving fellows from the awful
And when we rock the world he said remember this for always
Of the right way, of the light saviours,
And the truth which like beams and lazers
Hit s your mind and tell sit what to do
Trust your instinct a sense which always keeps you true
You'll get by little child if you play a little wiser
Set the world alight; yeah start riots; take it higher
Yeah you are my survivor
I ran as fast as the wind could carry me on
Through the murky streets, the dim lamps and thick fog
They took me through the shark infested where I found myself before
A fundamentalist group who welcomed me with open arms
They said come in young child, now you will learn of the holy
How to speak in tongues if the lord considers you worthy
We are born again although I thought they were crazy
I kept it to myself had no need for their lord to save me
Chorus
It's just that life at home was tough and even tougher growing up
It made me mad I'd lose all control I was confused had had enough
And my pop he was distraught he said did I not show enough love
Or was it a little too tough love to help you to grow up
Did I beat you down, how did I make you feel honey
I've spent all of my youth and I've burnt all my money
I've fed so many mouths and now I'm ready to check out
But you are going to be alright and of this there is no doubt
