I Shall Overcome Lyrics - Once Upon A Time In The West - Hard-fi

New day dawning, I wonder what it holds for me 

Sun is shining, don't think that it shine for me 

I look around, nothing seems to have changed 

This dirty town, it hasn't somehow 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 

In my heart, there's a pouring rain 

And it ain't pretty, no 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, without hope 

I hear your voice, call my name 

In my heart, there's a pouring rain 

And it ain't pretty, no 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
