Intro] (
Reggae
organ
swell) (
Soft
drum
rim-click)
Yeah,
life
is
a
heavy
road
But
the
light
always
shines
through
[Verse 1] From
my
childhood,
they
said
I
would
never
be
anything
My
father
said
I
should
not
bother
to
go
to
school
Many
days
I
slept
in
uncompleted
buildings,
many
lonely
nights
I
stayed
hungry,
many
days
with
no
food
I
cried,
no
one
to
hold
me,
no
one
to
comfort
me
I
became
an
orphan
inside
my
parents'
house
Begging
for
food
just
to
survive
Even
my
primary
school
was
by
His
grace
[Chorus] We
were
seven
versus
one
Later
I
became
the
only
one
standing
They
saw
me
on
the
sea,
drifting
far
away
Seven
versus
one,
look
at
how
the
tables
turned
today
[Verse 2] My
mother
tried,
she
registered
me
in
secondary
school
From
there
I
took
my
destiny
in
my
hand
I
worked
for
people
before
I
went
to
class
Tilling
the
land
became
my
daily
life
In JSS2
the
load
became
too
heavy
So
I
ran
to
my
Grandma
in
Osifo
There
I
was
welcomed,
there
I
was
truly
loved
My
parents
never
asked
where
I
was
[Pre-Chorus] Until
they
saw
me
far
away
On
top
of
the
sea
[Chorus] We
were
seven
versus
one
Later
I
became
the
only
one
aside
They
saw
me
on
the
sea,
drifting
far
away
Seven
versus
one,
look
at
how
the
tables
turned
today
[Bridge] Life
will
test
you,
fire
will
try
your
gold
But
keep
your
head
up,
let
the
story
be
told
But
keep
your
head
up,
let
the
story
be
told
I
rose
from
the
shadows,
I
rose
from
the
pain
I’
m
the
survivor
dancing
in
the
rain
[Verse 3] Now
I
look
back
with
a
heart
that
is
clear
Gone
is
the
hunger,
gone
is
the
fear
Grandma’
s
love
was
the
seed
that
I
grew
Now
I
am
steady,
I’
m
starting
anew
Seven
versus
one,
I
faced
the
storm
alone
Built
a
foundation,
carved
out
my
own
stone
No
looking
back,
the
path
is
now
bright
Walking
in
truth,
moving
into
the
light
[Chorus] We
were
seven
versus
one
Later
I
became
the
only
one
aside
They
saw
me
on
the
sea,
drifting
far
away
Seven
versus
one,
look
at
how
the
tables
turned
today
[Outro] Seven
versus
one
I
am
still
standing
here
Stronger
than
the
tide
Yeah,
I
survived,
I
survived (
Fade
out
with
soft
bass
pulse)
