All these eyes are staring blindly at me
Judge to jury and they're all thick as thieves
They're on my heels
They're on my back
They try to drag me down
But I will overcome
I'm really not that different from anyone
I can take it on
I will overcome
I will overcome
Countless tongues will try and twist fate
From start to finish everybody's got theirs saved
Their words are sharp
They're meant to sting
They're trying to cut me down
But I will overcome
I'm really not that different from anyone
I can take it on
And I will overcome
I will overcome
All those yesterdays don't mean a thing when it comes to now
Cause it's a brand new day I'm making every moment count
Cause I will overcome
I'm really not that different from anyone
I can take it on
And I will overcome
I will overcome
I will overcome
(I can take it)
I can take it on
I can take it on
I will overcome
I will overcome
