I Shall Overcome

I Shall Overcome - Hard-Fi

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 is true

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

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

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
