I was born 3 months too early The doctor gave me 30 days But I must have had my mama's will And God's amazing grace I guess I'll keep on livin Even if this love's to die for Cuz your bags are packed And I ain't cryin Your walkin out and I'm not tryin To change your mind Cuz I was born to be The baby girl without a chance A victim of circumstance The one who oughta give up But she's just too hard headed A single mom Who works 2 jobs Who loves her kids and never stops With gentle hands And the heart of a fighter I'm a survivor I don't believe in self pity It only brings you down May be the queen of broken hearts But I don't hide behind the crown When the deck is stacked against me I just play a different game My roots are planted in the past And though my life is changing fast Who I am is who I wanna be The baby girl without a chance A victim of circumstance The one who oughta give up But she's just too hard headed A single mom Who works 2 jobs Who loves her kids and never stops With gentle hands And the heart of a fighter I'm a survivor Oh a single mom Who works 2 jobs Who loves her kids and never stops With gentle hands And the heart of a fighter I'm a survivor But I must have had my mama's will And God's amazing grace (I'm a survivor)
