I Survived

“I Survived” is the title of my first song I recorded in a professional music studio in Toronto. 

My song discusses the story of my Survival and my Recovery from a severeTraumatic Brain injury. 

“I Survived” is now available on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube as well as on other music streaming platforms.

 FYI – In my song I play both the acoustic and electric guitar and the singers are both myself and my wife, Jen.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:

TBI, you’re on my mind

I wanna leave you right behind

All I know and all I see,

Is different now, than it used to be.

Pre-Chorus:

Life may throw, but I’ll never know.                                         

Where I am and where I’ll go. 

What I know and where I’ll be.

I saw the light, it was quite the sight.                                

Never-ending, so clear and bright

Forgotten memories hiding from me.

Chorus:

But I survived, I’m alive

I’m Holding On, just trying to stay Strong

I survived, I’m alive

I’m Moving on, Just want to belong

Verse 2:                            

Lost and alone and losing hope                                                  

Thoughts and prayers just trying to cope. 

The answers you find, are yours to keep. 

Pre-Chorus 2:

Got to remember that I survived          

My new life has arrived

Be here now, you and me. 

Chorus:

But I survived, I’m alive

I’m Holding On, just trying to stay Strong

I survived, I’m alive

I’m Moving on, Just want to belong

Bridge:

You see me

ICU

What you do will come back to you.

Pre-Chorus 3:

Life may throw, but I’ll never know.

Where I am and where I’ll go. 

What I know and where I’ll be.

Chorus:

But I survived, I’m alive

I’m Holding On, just trying to stay Strong

I survived, I’m alive

I’m Moving on, I’m GOING to belong
