00:00Thank you, it is my great privilege and pleasure to be here tonight to celebrate our nation's
00:08independence. I hope this song encourages and empowers everyone to dedicate themselves
00:14to our God-given values of liberty and justice for all.
00:19At first I was afraid, I was petrified, kept thinking I could never live without you by
00:43my side. But then I spent so many nights, so many nights thinking how you did me wrong.
01:07And I grew strong and I learned how to get along.
01:11So now you're back from out of space. I just walked in to find you here with that sad look
01:17upon your face. I should have changed that stupid lock. I should have made you need your key.
01:22Thought I'd know for just one second if you'd back to bother me. Go on now, go, walk out the door.
01:30Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore.
01:35Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with your fire? Did you think I'd come home?
01:40Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh, no, not I. I will survive. Oh, as long as I know how to love,
01:48I know I'll stay alive. I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give. And I'll
01:54survive. I will survive. Hey, hey.
02:10Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart. Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
02:20And I spent oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry. But now I hold my head up high cause he may see somebody new.
02:32I'm not that kind of little person still in love with you. And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free.
02:40Now I'm saving all my life for someone who doesn't need me. Go on now, go, walk out the door.
02:48Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore.
02:52Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with your fire? Did you think I'd come home?
02:58Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh, no, not I. I will survive. Oh, as long as I know how to love,
03:06I know I'll stay alive. I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give. And I'll survive. I will survive.
03:16Oh, go on now, go, walk out the door. Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore.
03:28Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with your fire? Did you think I'd come home? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh, no, not I. I will survive.
03:38Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive. I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give. And I'll survive. I will survive. I will survive.
04:08I will survive.
