Chorus:
I've seen too many victories, to let defeat have the last word (repeat 4x's)

Lead:
[Well hear this] When I wake up in the morning, and realize that I'm, that I'm still here
That let's me know that God gave me favor, no matter what circumstances reveal
He brought me through, my pain and sorrow, reassuring I got hope for tomorrow
Defeat can't compete with mercy and grace, If i just keep faith I can win this race

Chorus

Lead:
When I think of his goodness and all he's done for me, dare not complain
Cause he brought me over the rugged hill, all of my heartaches and pains
Well I understand trials come to make me strong, I gotta stay in the race y'all I gotta keep pressing on
This is my testimony to you, I got victory even though I don't look like what I've been through

Chorus

Bridge:
When I wake up in the morning [I count it victory]
I get outta my bed [I count it victory]
I put one foot before the other [I count it victory]
(yaa-ee-ya-eh-eh) I count it victory yes I do [I count it victory]
Said I count it victory yes I do [I count it victory]
My peace of mind yaa [I count it victory]
Whoooaa [I just count it victory]
All of my suffering [I count it victory]
Suffering that I went through [I count it victory]
Through all of my struggles I'm going through yeah [I count it victory]
Every breath that I take [I count it victory]
Every move that I make [I count it victory
And every word that I speak [I count it victory]
I,I count it victory
The pain that I endured [I count it victory]
I just count it victory [I count it victory]
