Текст песни Survivor (Live) - 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 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!
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!
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.
