Survival of the Fittest
I'm a survivor because I made it through
And now I know I can do better for you
I have no regrets anyway
Because it made me what I am today
I look in the mirror
I like what I see
Everything is clearer
To the better one of me
Each little thing that I conquer makes me strong
And I've learned not to dwell on things that are wrong
I struggled through sorrow and pain
And yet I came out on top once again
I look in the mirror
I like what I see
Everything is clearer
To the better one of me
I took responsibility for myself
And then I put the past away on a shelf
Now I think I know what is good
I've come a long way to be understood
