Donny Osmond - Survivor lyrics

So innocent at first, a blessing or a curse I did my very best. And I, as the seasons pa**, try to make it last And I watched them fall away But a man can't be measured by the number of times he is knocked down It's all about what he does when he gets back up again I'm a survivor. What'd you go and change your mind for? You're the one I'd die for, take me as I am! Don't just ignore me; no need to feel sorry for me. I don't need your pity. Treat me like a man! I'm not a shadow of who I used to be... It's just me. And I have nowhere else to turn I thought I had to learn a new way to your heart And oh, I tried everything I could I fought hard for where I stood But it sure tore me apart, oh But a man can't be measured by the number of times he is knocked down It's all about what he does when he gets back up again I'm a survivor. What'd you go and change your mind for? You're the one I'd die for, take me as I am! Don't just ignore me; no need to feel sorry for me. I don't need your pity. Treat me like a man! I'm not a shadow of who I used to be... It's just me. Oh I have been fighting for so long Whether it's been right or wrong, it's become a way of life And now, after all the pain and tears, standing strong through the years What am I to do? I'm a survivor. What'd you go and change your mind for? You're the one I'd die for, take me as I am! I'm a survivor. What'd you go and change your mind for? You're the one I'd die for, take me as I am! Don't just ignore me; no need to feel sorry for me. I don't need your pity. Treat me like a man! I'm not a shadow of who I used to be... It's just me.
