This is a song I wrote called "Survival." One may feel that the world is against them and that they don't have what it takes to win the battles/wars in life, but in reality, everyone has what it takes to live another day no matter how hard the roads may get.
Do I have what it takes to stand my ground
Do I have what it takes, or have I just drowned
Do I have a voice that speaks from my heart
To scream and to shout for a brand new start
I know I have what it takes...to survive
How can I look forward in life
When I cannot see between their lines
The line of perfection, the line of rejection
The boundaries they set is the line of selection
My vision is blurred from all around
With hatred and fear as the common ground
They speak with direction, but I hear subjection
The voices inside are in need of correction
How can I fix the problem I see
When I can’t read the words within me
I long for acception, but I feel suppression
The face that I see is from self deception
The heart beats, but broken within
The wounds and scars as they have been
The battles that I fight, for the chance to see the light
Deep down inside, I will soar to a new height
I have what it takes to stand my ground
I have what it takes, and I won’t drown
