I see you sittin' there all alone
|
Crying your eyes out
|
While everything's going wrong
|
You know there's gonna be
|
A whole lot of trouble in your life
|
Listen to me, get up off your knees
|
'Cause only the strong survive
|
|
Only the strong survive
|
Only the strong survive
|
Hey, you gotta be strong
|
You gotta hold on
|
I said don't give up, no don't
|
|
I said don't go around
|
With your head looking down
|
Dont you let'em make you feel like a clown
|
There's a lot of opportunity
|
Out there just waiting for you
|
But you'll never succeed if you've given up
|
And say your life is through
|
Listen this minute what I'm tellin' you
|
|
Only the strong survive
|
Only the strong survive
|
Hey, you gotta be strong
|
Gotta hold on
|
You gotta be a man, take a stand
|
|
Only the strong survive
|
Only the strong survive
|
|
Weak fall by the wayside
|
You gotta hold on
|
You gotta keep on, keep on
|
Keep on, keep on, keep on gettin' on
|
|
'Cause only the strong survive
|
Only the strong survive
|
Weak fall by the wayside
|
You gotta be strong
|
You gotta hold on
|
You gotta keep goin' on
|
|
Only the strong survive
|
Only the strong survive
|
Weak fall by the wayside
|
You gotta be a man
|
You gotta take a stand
|
|
Get up, set your body in motion
|
You knnw the strong survive
|
Wake up and get your education
|
So you can keep your family alive
|
Get away from negative situations
|
It can only bring you a lot of frustrations
|
'Cause only the strong survive
|
