I Shall Overcome

Hard-Fi - I shall overcome


New day dawning,

wonder what it holds for me

Sun is shining,

don't think that it will shine on me

I look around,

nothing seems to have changed

This dirty town,

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

Scream out please!

Don't leave me hear alone

Down on my knees,

without you, 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
