Overcome lyrics

Where are the heroes

in my time of need?

Is my cry not loud enough

or have they gone all numb?

They just stand and stare

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.

Your violence their silence,

although,

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.

Truth is never honest

when you're to blame.

Pushing and pulling...

Never give in.

One day I wish

you'll see you're not so beautiful within.

I will overcome.

Their violence your silence

although,

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.

Their violence your silence

although,

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.
