He started his new job today A lot of overtime and underpaid He thinks about his family He thinks about the bills He wonders if he'll make it But he knows somehow he will Cause he's a survivor He takes life day by day He's a survivor He'll find a way When he loses hope, loves his provider Cause he's a survivor She sits all day behind her desk Taking calls and making coffee for somebody else She gets little credit for all that she does It'd drive her crazy if she let it But she'll make it because She's a survivor She takes life day by day She's a survivor She'll find a way When she loses hope, loves her provider She's a survivor We all have our mountains to climb And we all have our battles to win But if we take it one day at a time We'll be survivors in the end Life is hard on love today We let too many things get in our way Some forevers don't last very long We're still together cause our love is so strong We are survivors We take life day by day We are survivors We'll find a way When we lose hope, loves our provider We are survivors We take life day by day We are survivors And we'll find a way When we lose hope, loves our provider Cause we are survivors *
