Left for dead, broken down
But it's our blood that feeds this ground
I know
I know
Our innocence's been stolen now
All our dreams are tangled in a rope
A rope
The scars, we wear them well
We've seen heaven, we've seen hell
We will overcome
We're gettin' stronger
Gettin' stronger
We will overcome
Till the nightmare is over
Till it's over
We will overcome
Fires burnin' through the night
There's no tellin' where it's gonna go
Gonna go
Runnin' wild, runnin' blind
But the embers never reach our souls
Reach our souls
The scars, we wear them well
We've seen heaven, we've seen hell
We will overcome
We're gettin' stronger
Gettin' stronger
We will overcome
Till the nightmare is over
Till it's over
We will overcome
Yeah
Plant the seed of freedom then watch it manifest
Prosperity in our vision, high up on the shelf
Next to God's plan so don't get caught up in the quicksand
Pay no mind to what's trendin'
Darkness cover us all but beyond the flesh
There's a spiritual nest for us to lay in, play in
Feel safe in, to unify the broken, walkin'
On deprived pavement, so keep your hands on the rope 'cause you know
We will overcome
We're gettin' stronger
Gettin' stronger
We will overcome
Till the nightmare is over
Till it's over
We will overcome
