Survivors
Yes we have been broken
 our souls have been bruised
 we have been beaten down and abused
 by ourselves and our thoughts late at night
 
 And when you're beating and you're pounding 
 yes of course we're gonna fall
 and we may fall so far away that we look like we're lost
 but we get up again
 
 And yes  we are children of our pain
 we are the lonely and the lost 
 maybe we've lived through a lot
  but we lived
 
 And it is not our pain that defines us
 that paints us as we are 
 its not the scars
 not the ones on our bodies ot the ones on  our hearts
 it is the fact that we survived it all makes us
 
 Our breaks do not make us ruined
 Only throught the cracks can we see the sun 
 Yes we have been wasted and abandoned and alone
 But we were survivors 
 and now thats all that matters.
