| Left for dead, broken down
|
| But it's our blood that feeds this ground
|
| I know, I know
|
| Our innocence been stolen now
|
| All our dreams are tangled then
|
| Erode, erode
|
| The scars, we wear them well
|
| We've seen heaven, we've seen hell (yeah)
|
| We will overcome
|
| We're gettin' stronger (ooh-ooh)
|
| Gettin' stronger (ooh-ooh) (yeah)
|
| We will overcome
|
| Till the nightmare is over (ooh-ooh)
|
| Till it's over (ooh-ooh)
|
| We will overcome
|
| Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)
|
| Fires burnin' through the night
|
| There's no tellin' where it's
|
| Gonna go (woo-ooh), gonna go (woo-ooh)
|
| Runnin' wild, runnin' blind
|
| But the embers never
|
| Reach our souls (woo-ooh), reach our souls (woo-ooh-ooh)
|
| The scars, we wear them well
|
| We've seen heaven, we've seen hell (yeah)
|
| We will overcome
|
| We're gettin' stronger (ooh-ooh)
|
| Gettin' stronger (ooh-ooh) (yeah)
|
| We will overcome
|
| Till the nightmare is over (ooh-ooh)
|
| Till it's over (ooh-ooh)
|
| We will overcome
|
| Yeah
|
| Plant the seed of freedom then watch it manifest
|
| Prosperity in our vision, high up on the shelf (yeah)
|
| Next to God's plan so don't get caught up in the quicksand
|
| Pay no mind to what's trendin' (yeah)
|
| Darkness cover us all but beyond the flesh
|
| That's the spiritual nest for us to lay in, play in (yeah)
|
| Feel safe in, to unify the broken, walkin'
|
| On deprived pavement, so keep your hands on the rope 'cause you know
|
| We will overcome
|
| We're gettin' stronger (yeah)
|
| Gettin' stronger (mmh-mmh-mmh)
|
| We will overcome
|
| Till the nightmare is over (yeah)
|
| Till it's over (mmh-mmh-mmh)
|
| We will overcome |
