Survivor Tree Lyrics

It was a bright sunny day, when life filled the streets

A calm before the storm, nothing but peace

But nothing could prepare me for what was in store

Just another normal day but the clouds began to form

When the walls came down, I knew I lost a part of me

It's like time stopped

And everything collapsed on me

Now I'm looking 'round at all the unfamiliarity

Didn't know it'd all be gone so momentarily

I'm buried under rubble and I can hardly breathe

Feels like everything I ever loved is just a faded memory

Surrounded by darkness, all encompassing

Tell me, will they ever find what's left of me?

I'm holding onto hope that somebody will rescue me

I'm hard pressed on each side and I can't seem to find my peace

But I can't let these temporary troubles get the best of me

Dear God,

Please don't let this be the end of my story.

Keep holding on, you're not alone

I know it's hard, when you fall down,

Please stay strong, and trust that,

you've still got time, to get back up again.

When I was found my condition was critical

So broken and bruised it seemed metaphysical

And I will not lie it made me cynical

Could have been a case study, psychoanalytical

Now I'm stuck in fight or flight

Recovery's not out of sight

So I'm fighting for my life

And I can finally see the light

I will survive

Not crushed, perplexed, but not in despair

Persecuted, not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed

On the outside we are wasting away

On the inside, renewed day by day

For our momentary troubles are

achieving for us

Eternal glory that far outweighs them all

For God will restore everything we lost

So, therefore, we do not lose heart

Not crushed, perplexed, but not in despair

Persecuted, not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed

On the outside we are wasting away

On the inside, renewed day by day

For our momentary troubles are

achieving for us

Eternal glory that far outweighs them all

For God will restore everything we lost

So, therefore, we do not lose heart

Keep holding on, you're not alone

I know it's hard, when you fall down,

Please stay strong, and trust that,

you've still got time, to get back up again.
