Only The Strong Survive Lyrics

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

I 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



Repeat I
