Overcome Lyrics - A Bad Girl In Harlem - New Politics

I'm feeling powerless 

I'm feeling hopeless 

I see the world beneath us open to the darkness 

I see it everywhere 

There's no progress 

It's like I'm slowly giving into all the madness 

I stand here imperfect right before you 

Been searching so long for a way to get through 

Swallowed the universe abandoned my youth 

I still can't forsake what I feel is true 

I was made out of dust by a voice in the wind 

To conquer my fears and rise like king 

I will always evolve and never give in 

I will follow my dreams cause I know I will win 

And if you don't take a stand 

You won't understand 

We will overcome 

We will overcome 

It's written in the wind 

Set the wheels in motion and rise again 

Higher and higher and higher 

Higher and higher 

We will overcome 

My friend 

And I will not justify what I did 

Through the pain sweat and tears I have learned to forgive 

So live out your life cause it is a gift 

And rise up above; take the whole world with you 

I stand here naked this is my truth

Hold on to your innocence and beauty of youth 

And don't ever forget the power lies within 

Being born ain't a crime you can be what you want to 

And if you don't take a stand 

You won't understand 

We will overcome 

We will overcome 

It's written in the wind 

Set the wheels in motion and rise again 

Higher and higher and higher 

Higher and higher 

We will overcome 

My friend 

I'm feeling powerless 

I'm feeling hopeless 

I see the world beneath us open to the darkness 

I see it everywhere 

There's no progress 

It's like I'm slowly giving into all the madness 

We will overcome 

We will overcome 

It's written in the wind 

Set the wheels in motion and rise again 

Higher and higher and higher 

Higher and higher 

We will overcome 

My friend 

I'm feeling powerful 

I'm feeling hopeful 

I see the world beneath us change to something beautiful 

I see it everywhere 

There is progress 

If we unite as one then everything is possible
