There was a time when the people would sit and pout
they said, “I don’t wanna figure it out”
It was a time when the people would b*tch a lot
they said, “I don’t wanna figure it out”
Chorus
But I am my own revival
I am my own resolve
I am my own revival
you can go out and be your own
There was a time when the people were living fast
they said, “I don’t wanna miss this race”
It was a time when the people came out dead and last
they said, “Now I can’t show my face”
Chorus
Bridge
And ain’t it a shame!
We’re so ashamed
but don’t be ashamed!
Don’t be ashamed
There was a time when the people would swim in debt
they said, “I can’t really live without”
It was a time when the people had to get and get
they said, “we can’t really live without”
Chorus
Bridge
There came a time when the people would look around
and say, “I think we can figure this out”
It was a time when the people would stand and shout
“we don’t have to live without!!”
Chorus
Chorus 2
I am my own survival
I am my own reserve
I am my own survival
go out and be your own
