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
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
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
