I Shall Overcome

New day dawning, I wonder what it holds for me

Sun is shining, don't think that it shine for me

I look around, nothing seems to have changed

This dirty town, it hasn't somehow rearrangedAnd I stand up, but I get knocked straight back down

"Just give it up", they say, "We just don't want you around

Not one of us and we don't like to share"

Mouthful of dust, but I'll get even I swearI hear your voice, call my name

In my heart, there's a pouring rain

And it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty

But you say, "Hold on, hold on, believe me

All the plans against you one by one, will come undone"

I shall overcomeThrough my tears, I try to see your face

But doubt and fear come calling

And crowd my head with words of hate

I scream out, "Please, don't leave me hear alone"

Down on my knees, without you, without hopeI hear your voice, call my name

In my heart, there's a pouring rain

And it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty, no it ain't pretty

But you say, "Hold on, hold on, believe me

Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground"Hold on, hold on, it's easy

All the plans against you one by one, will come undone

I know, I shall overcome

Just in time you call my name

Pull myself up to fight again, I'll never let you downHold on, hold on, believe me

Love is here and I won't let you down, stand your ground

Hold on, hold on, it's easy

All the plans against you one by one, will come undone

I know, I shall overcome
