[Verse 1]
We've been through the storm
We've been through it all
We had some close calls
But never would fall
We climbed all the mountains
Walked through all the valleys
And you never left me behind

[Pre-Chorus]
I found my way through the clouds
No more runnin' scared and closing my eyes, oh
I will be true, this love from my heart
I'm laying my life on the line

[Chorus]
Oh, I will survive (hey, hey)
As long as it's you by my side (hey)
I will survive (hey, hey)
As long as it's you by my side
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger (stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger)
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger (stronger, stronger)

[Verse 2]
They said we wouldn't make it
But guess what, we made it
And we got them wondering how
You were always for me
Never been the one to hurt me
You gave me peace of mind

[Pre-Chorus]
I found my way through the clouds
No more runnin' scared and closing my eyes, oh
I will be true, this love from my heart
I'm laying my life on the line

[Chorus]
Oh, I will survive (hey, hey)
As long as it's you by my side (hey)
I will survive (hey, hey)
As long as it's you by my side
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger (stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger)
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger (stronger, stronger)

[Bridge]
Sometimes I can't believe
That you are with me
There's nobody lucky as me
So I get on my knees
To make sure that He
Knows that I'm grateful
For what He gave me

[Chorus]
Oh, I will survive (hey, hey)
As long as it's you by my side (hey)
I will survive (hey, hey)
As long as it's you by my side
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger (stronger, stronger, stronger, stronger)
I'm stronger, stronger, stronger (stronger, stronger)

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
