I Shall Overcome |
| New day dawning, I wonder what it holds for me, |
| Sun is shining, I Don’t think that it will shine on me |
| I look around, nothing seems to have changed, |
| This dirty town, it hasn’t some how rearranged |
| And I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down, |
| «Just give it up"they say, «We just don’t want you around |
| Not one of us, and we don’t like to share.» |
| Mouthful of dust, but I’ll get even I swear… |
| I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It’s still pouring rain, |
| And it ain’t pretty, no it ain’t pretty… |
| But you say «Hold on, hold on… believe me, |
| All the plans against you one by one, will come undone.» |
| I shall overcome. |
| Through my tears, I try to see your face, |
| But doubt and fear come calling, and crowd my head with words of hate, |
| I scream out please! |
| Don’t leave me hear alone, |
| Down on my knees, without you and without hope… |
| I hear your voice, call my name, but in my heart, It’s still pouring rain, |
| And it ain’t pretty, no it ain’t pretty… |
| But you say «Hold on, hold on… believe me, |
| Love is here and I won’t let you down, stand your ground. |
| Hold on, hold on… It’s easy, |
| All the plans against you one by one, will come undone.» |
| I know I shall overcome. |
| Just in time you call my name, pull myself up, to fight again. |
| I’ll never let you down… |
| «Hold on, hold on… believe me, |
| Love is here and I won’t let you down, stand your ground. |
| Hold on, hold on… It’s easy, |
| All the plans against you one by one, will come undone.» |
| I know I shall overcome. |
