You’ll Never Get to Me

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh! [Verse 1] Sea of hurt, I feel the waves of pain And now the tides come in again I'm caught in a vicious cycle of despair Give me the courage to face another day Oh! [Chorus] Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation [Verse 2] I sighed in silence - I was mourning I said sorry a thousand times I cried aloud to God for all my failings But God seemed deaf as well as blind Oh! [Chorus] Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation [Verse 3] We drank and smoked and talked until the dawn We shared our problems and our food Telling tales of courage and resolution Through all the hardships we'd endured Oh! [Chorus] Oh, sing a song of joy Sweet childhood, never desert me Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation I'll never let you get to me Survival is my victory Time for celebration, oh! Overcome with a sense of elation
