Overcome
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.
