Lyrics
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.
Where are the heroes in my time of need
Is my crying abandoned or have they gone? Oh no
They just tend to stand out of the rain
Thinking but not acting that they're not to blame
Falling and crawling a fight to stand up
Memory still haunts me in the dead of night
Over and over I felt so small
But one day I'll be stronger and you better watch out
(I will overcome)
In violence there's silence oh no, it can't be undone
(I will overcome)
Knowing that I'm not the only one
(I will overcome)
It's the only way to carry on
Where are the saviours afraid of the toll?
Sorry, do my nine inch nails slash your soul?
Such heroes throwing stones
Straight at the one, who is standing alone?
Twisting and turning, it's always the same
The truth is never honest when you're to blame
Pushing and pulling, never give in
One day I wish you see you're not so beautiful within
(I will overcome)
In violence there's silence oh no, it can't be undone
(I will overcome)
Knowing that I'm not the only one
(I will overcome)
It's the only way to carry on
Run and run...
Run and run...
(I will overcome)
In violence there's silence oh no, it can't be undone
(I will overcome)
Knowing that I'm not the only one
(I will overcome)
It's the only way to carry on, I will overcome
