We've been through the storm, we've been through it all We had some close calls but never would fall We climbed all the mountains, Walked through all the valleys but you never left me behind I found my way through the clouds No more runnin', scared, closing my eyes I will be true this love from my heart I'm laying my life on the line I will survive, as long as it's you by my side I will survive, as long as it's you by my side I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger They said we wouldn't make it but guess what we made it And we got them wondering how You were always for me, never been the one t'hurt me You gave me peace of mine I found my way through the clouds No more runnin', scared, closing my eyes I will be true this love from my heart I'm laying my life on the line I will survive, as long as it's you by my side I will survive, as long as it's you by my side I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger Sometimes I can't believe that you are with me There's nobody lucky as me So I get on my knee's to make sure That he knows that I'm grateful for what he gave me I will survive I will survive, as long as it's you by my side I will survive, as long as it's you by my side I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger I'm stronger
