Текст песни Survivor - Donny Osmond

So innocent at first, blessing or a curse
I did my very best
And I, as the seasons pass, try to make it last
And I watched them fall away

But a man can't be measured by the number of time, 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
Your 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 elsе to turn
I thought I had to learn a new way to your heart
And oh, I triеd 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 time, 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
Your 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
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 that 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
Your the one I'd die for, take me as I am

I'm a survivor, what d'you go and change your mind for
Your 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
