Thorsten French Music - Survivor's Heart – Kingston Choir Version

Lyrics & Music: Thorsten French

[Verse 1]
Sister, can you hear me crying in the night?
When the hurricane winds blow away our light
I'm standing in the rubble of what used to be my home
Tell me how we gonna make it on our own

The gangs dem control the streets where I was born
Every day I wake up feeling so worn
But I keep on walking, keep on trying
Though inside my heart is slowly dying

[Chorus]
Oh Jah, oh Jah, why the struggle so hard?
Oh Jah, oh Jah, heal my broken heart
I'm a survivor, survivor, but I'm barely holding on
Survivor, survivor, till the break of dawn
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Sister, do you see the children in the yard?
Living life when everything is getting hard
No food upon the table, no money in my hand
Still I got to find a way to take a stand

The pandemic shut down everything we knew
Now the bills keep coming, what we gonna do?
But I keep on praying, keep on believing
Though my soul is tired and grieving

[Chorus]
Oh Jah, oh Jah, why the struggle so hard?
Oh Jah, oh Jah, heal my broken heart
I'm a survivor, survivor, but I'm barely holding on
Survivor, survivor, till the break of dawn
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
When the earth start shaking underneath my feet
When the water rising up to meet
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow
Push away all of this sorrow
(La-la-la-la-la)

[Verse 3]
Sister, can you hold my hand and walk with me?
Through the valley to where we can be free
Though the system try to keep us down below
Together we can make our spirits grow

Every single day I choose to rise again
Find the strength to love despite the pain
Keep on singing, keep on hoping
'Cause my heart won't stop from coping

[Chorus]
Oh Jah, oh Jah, why the struggle so hard?
Oh Jah, oh Jah, heal my broken heart
I'm a survivor, survivor, but I'm barely holding on
Survivor, survivor, till the break of dawn

[Outro]
Sister, we are survivors, yes we are
Sister, we are survivors, yes we are
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, la-la-la-la)
Survivors, survivors
(Till the break of dawn)
