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 Swallowed the universe abandoned my youth I still can't forsake what I feel is true I was made out of dust by a voice in the wind To conquer my fears and rise like king I will always evolve and never give in I will follow my dreams cause I know I will win 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 So live out your life cause it is a gift And rise up above take the whole world with you I stand here naked this is my truth Hold on to your innocence and beauty of youth And don't ever forget the power lies within Being born ain't a crime you can be what you want to 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 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 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
