You took away my innocence
Tried to take away my confidence
Tried to take what made me felt I belong
The beatings, treats, vulgarities
The constant hate you threw at me
You thought it would bring me down - you were so wrong
I'm not a victim, I'm a survivor
I'm not a victim, cause I'm a survivor
I'm not a victim - I am a leader
I'm not a victim - I am a fighter
I'm not a victim - I'm a survivor
And I'm moving strong ahead
Many times I came back to you
You’d say all the games were through
That all things I’m to you is beautiful
Then we’d end up in the place
Where you’d caused me much disgrace
But I've been rescued by the love in me
I will not compromise with what will hurt me
For when you can’t use me, you’ll try to bury me
I'm thankful to the one above
Whose fill my heart with so much love
With this my life is resolved

No, they're not offensive. They illustrate the importance of standing up for one's self and doing what's right for them. They show power and the choice of choosing NOT to be a victim any longer.

It's very empowering and I like it.
Depends who you're talking about. If it's 3rd or 4th graders you might want to be careful with the "beatings and vulgarities" but you'll probably be fine even with them. I like this song.

I like it, it's very uplifting.
1. If your singing this to a bunch of atheist then this line would be offensive.
" I'm thankful to the one above"
thats about it
