Thought others could maybe use some cheering up from this song. Now that I've heard the whole thing, it's really boosting my spiriits tonight! :)
The lyrics really hit home for me, and hearing Reba sing them tonight (thanks to audiogalaxy.com, and someone's advice that I could find it there) is reminding me that I know all this already, and that no matter how bad life may get, or how bad I may feel, 1. There is hope, and 2. I've survived so much already, and I'm not the kind to give up. also 3.
"And though my life is changin fast/Who I am is who I wanna be."

Anyways, here's the lyrics.

I was born 3 months too early
The doctor gave me 30 days
But I must have had my mamas will
And God's amazing grace
I guess I'll keep on livin
Even if this love is to die for
Cuz your bags are packed
And I ain't cryin
Your walkin out and I'm not tryin
To change your mind
Cuz I was born to be

Chorus
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta give up
But she's just too hard headed
a single mom
who works 2 jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands
And the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self pity
It only brings you down
May be the queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changin fast
Who I am is who I wanna be
Repeat chorus

Kim
