Overcome

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Oooh

Aaah

If you walk with your head down

You can count every step you take

I know every place I've been now

I can count every mistake

I've been hurt so many times before

Almost forgotten how to dream

All that I was running from

Is all I need to save me

I couldn't let you in my heart

But now my defences all fall apart

Just when I thought I'd given up

I have overcome

And now I can let you go (Oh no)

You show me something that I've never known

And finally I found the one

I have overcome

I have overcome

You can never see it coming

There's always that one you can't count now

Who keeps on believing

Nothing's gonna stop me now

I've been hurt so many times before

Almost forgotten how to dream

All that I was running from

Is all I need to save me

I couldn't let you in my heart (Oh)

But now my defences all fall apart (All fall apart)

Just when I thought I'd given up

I have overcome

And now I can let you go (I can't let you go)

You show me something that I've never known (Never known)

And finally I found the one (I found the one)

I have overcome

I'm not running anymore

'Cause now there's nothing left to hold me down

Some things are worth fighting for

I see it all - it's waiting for me now

I couldn't let you in my heart

But now my defences all fall apart (All fall apart)

Just when I thought I'd given up

I have overcome

And now I can let you go (I can't let you go)

You show me something that I've never known (Never known)

And finally I found the one (Ooh...)

I have overcome

I couldn't let you in my heart

But now my defences all fall apart (Fall apart)

Just when I thought I'd given up (I'd given up, I'd given up)

I have overcome

And now I can let you go (Oh no)

You show me something that I've never known (Never known)

And finally I found the one

I have overcome

Oh, I have overcome

Yeah, yeah
