[Verse 1]
Wading again on the wrong side of low
Calling my courage from the comforts I know
Easy to lust and harder to hold
Don’t take it for granted, you reap what you sow

[Chorus]
And there’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord, I have survived
Lord, how have I survived?

[Verse 2]
The loneliest people that I’ve ever seen
Live in the current of Babylon’s dream
Surrounded by idols where no one believes
Lost in the title no roots on their feet

[Chorus]
And there’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord, I have survived
Lord, how have I survived?
[Verse 3]
I carry some burdens too fragile to mold
I wear them like diamonds though they’re worthless as stones
At times it’s a gamble who’s in control
But never afraid for the sake of my soul

[Chorus]
And there’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord, I have survived
Lord, how have I survived?
Lord, I have survived

And there’s a heavy weight at the burning stake
Living like you had died
Attrition takes at the pearly gates
Lord, I have survived
Lord, how have I survived?
