Learnt to survive
Through the pain and sorrow
That the world throws at me
I have learnt to survive.
Though my heart has been
Bruised, broken and scarred
I have learnt to survive.
Through the strain
And the trouble life has given me
I have learnt to survive.
In loneliness and darkness
I have learnt to survive.
In anxiety and grief
I have learnt to survive.
I have learnt to survive
But some don’t learn this
And give up their lives
Because they never
Learnt to survive.
