lyrics
Chorus:
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I restored what was meant to break me
I beat the odds no they couldn’t shake me
A conqueror I’m a true survivor
Could of wrecked me but I’m a fighter
Verse 1:
That's right I’m stronger than ever now
Carried the weight of a thousand pounds
And I admit it was a tough load
But my knees didn’t buckle
I Didn’t break couldn’t bend me
Even when I was running on empty
Pre-Chorus:
Cause plenty days were rainy
Had me feeling crazy
Almost on the daily
Now I can smell the daisies
Got to keep your head up
I know that you fed up
I know that your tired
But everyday gets better
You got to fight if you want it
You gotta go to war like a Trojan
The only way you can fix what is broken
Is to believe in yourself
You were chosen
Chorus:
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I restored what was meant to break me
I beat the odds no they couldn’t shake me
A conqueror I’m a true survivor
Could of wrecked me but I’m a fighter
Verse 2:
I was tired I was broken,I was worn out
Overwhelmed so many times I’ve been let down
Just like seeds we all need space and time to grow
Took control my life isn’t yours to overthrow
Down on my knees I was choking
But now I’m renewed and still loading
Didn’t know how it would end but I was hoping
I climbed out of a hole, now life is gold
I did it
Chorus:
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I restored what was meant to break me
I beat the odds no they couldn’t shake me
A conqueror I’m a true survivor
Could of wrecked me but I’m a fighter
Tag:
I’m a fighter
A survivor (repeat)
You got to, you got to fight
Bridge:
With the faith of a mustard seed
I believe I can do anything
Because I’m a survivor I’m a soldier
And the show ain’t over till it’s over
We were taken captive now we’re breaking out
Done with misery, suffering and doubt
Walking with our heads held high now
Happy that we overcame it somehow
Chorus:
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I restored what was meant to break me
I beat the odds no they couldn’t shake me
A conqueror I’m a true survivor
Could of wrecked me but I’m a fighter
Could of wrecked me but I’m a fighter (repeat 4x)
You got to, you got to fight
I’m a fighter a survivor (repeat 4x)
