Where are the heroes
In my time of need?
Is my cry not loud enough
Or have they gone all numb?
They just tend to stand
Out of the rain
Thinking but not acting
That theyre not to blame
Falling and crawling
A fight to stand up
Memory still haunts me
In the dead of night
Over and over, I felt so small
But one day Ill be stronger
And you better watch out
I will overcome, your violence their silence
Although it cant be undone
I will overcome, knowing that Im not the only one
I will overcome, its the only way to carry on
Where are the saviors?
Afraid of the toll
Sorry, do my nine inch nails
Slash your soul
Such heroes
Throwing stones
Straight at the one
Who is standing alone
Twisting and turning
Its always the same
Truth is never honest
When youre to blame
Pushing and pulling
Never give in, one day I wish
Youll see youre not so beautiful within
I will overcome, our violence your silence
Although it cant be undone
I will overcome, knowing that Im not the only one
I will overcome, its the only way to carry on
Run and run
Run and run
I will overcome, their violence your silence
Although it cant be undone
I will overcome, knowing that Im not the only one
I will overcome, its the only way to carry on
I will overcome
