Against all odds, I am still here
Born too early, with a fate unclear
But life, to me, did not disappear

The doctors shook their heads in fear
Said I'd be a vegetable, ever sincere
Against all odds, I am still here

Not once, but twice, I almost disappeared
But something kept me near
Life, to me, did not disappear

They said my time was limited, a mere
Thirty years, nothing more to revere
Against all odds, I am still here

Now forty, my life so dear
I've shown them all, I persevere
Life, to me, did not disappear
Against all odds, I am still here.
