All these eyes are staring blindly at me
Judge to jury and they're all thick as thieves
They're at my heels
They're on my back
They're trying to drag 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

Countless tongues will try and twist fate
(Try and twist my fate)
From start to finish everybody's got theirs saved
(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 will overcome
Mmm
I will overcome

I Will Overcome Lyrics
