I Will Survive (Preschool)First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you’ve come along
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
So now you’re three
You’ve learned to pee
Pretty soon you’ll know your ABC’s
with that proud look upon your face
I should have known you’d be ok
I should have left your school right away
But your my baby and I love you everyday

Go on now go walk out the door
Just turn around now
’cause your backpack’s on the kitchen floor
weren’t you supposed to bring one toy for show and tell
We’d better hurry
It’s almost quarter to 9
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know that you’re safe
I know I will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
and I’ll survive
I will survive

It took all the time I had
To hear about your day
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of your broken English
and I spent oh so many nights
feeling sorry for leavin’ while you cried
But you are strong
So you hold your head up high
Three hours later
You’ll see me
It’s time to go
I see you’ve had a wonderful day
What’s that in your hand
You wrote your name on your own
On the fridge it will have to go
I’m so very glad you showed me
How to be strong 

Oh yes I
I will survive
as long as i know that you’re safe
I know I will stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give
and I’ll survive
I will survive
