  • There's a time and place for change
    Ain't too many things that stay the same..
    I've been there through every phase
    Seasons come and go, but I remain
    I'm the one who holds the cards
    Every hand I play I raise the stakes
    Doubters wonder from afar
    How I leave 'em trailing in my wake

    I'm a Soul Survivor
    I'm a Soul Revivor
    Bv's we came, we saw we won
    It's far from done
    And time will heal the pain
    The road is long
    It gets you down
    But we will do it all again.

    Where's the man to quantify
    Everything I'm worth and who I am?
    He should look me in the eye
    Tell me where he figures in my plan...!
    There ain't nobody gonna make me stop
    Turn the lock, rip me off
    'Cuz I'm right where I should be
    And can't nobody ever hold me back
    Change the tack, make me slack
    You can't find another "Me".

    I'm a Soul Survivor
    I'm a Soul Revivor
    Bv's we came, we saw we won
    It's far from done
    And time will heal the pain
    The road is long
    It gets you down
    But we will do it all again.

    Never underestimate
    All the strength that lives inside of you
    I am here to demonstrate
    What no ordinary mind can do

    I'm a Soul Survivor
    I'm a Soul Revivor
    Bv's we came, we saw we won
    It's far from done
    And time will heal the pain
    The road is long
    It gets you down
    But we will do it all again Writer/s: BEVERLEY SMITH, CHAKA KHAN, GUY CHAMBERS
