Survivor/I Will Survive (Mashup)| Lumina of Rise Up Children’s Choir

The ladies of Rise Up Children’s Choir’s ensemble Lumina perform a mashup of two classic anthems about survival and female empowerment; Gloria Gaynor’s 1970’s "I Will Survive" and "Survivor" by Destiny's Child. Watch and listen as these talented young women make a powerful statement about overcoming tribulation and staying true to oneself as a warrior and a survivor.

At Rise Up Children’s Choir, we inspire young performers to uplift, entertain and transform our world through music.

🖤LYRICS
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Thinking I could live without you by my side
And after spending nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

And now you're back
From outer space
And I find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should've changed that stupid lock
Or made you leave your key
If I'd've known for a second
You'd be back to bother me

Go on, go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart
And I spent so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry (waah waah waah)
But now I hold my head up high

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

I'm wishin' you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
(I'm better than that) I'm not gon' hate on you in the magazines
(I'm better than that) I'm not gon' compromise my Christianity
(I'm better than that) You know I'm not gon' diss you on the Internet
'Cause my Mama taught me better than that

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

No, not I, I will survive
Oh long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live
And all my love to give and
I will survive
I will survive, hey hey

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

I will survive!
