Left for dead, broken down
But it's our blood that feeds this ground
I know, I know
Our innocence been stolen now
All our dreams are tangled then
Erode, erode

The scars, we wear them well
We've seen heaven, we've seen hell (yeah)

We will overcome
We're gettin' stronger (ooh-ooh)
Gettin' stronger (ooh-ooh) (yeah)
We will overcome
Till the nightmare is over (ooh-ooh)
Till it's over (ooh-ooh)
We will overcome

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)

Fires burnin' through the night
There's no tellin' where it's
Gonna go (woo-ooh), gonna go (woo-ooh)
Runnin' wild, runnin' blind
But the embers never
Reach our souls (woo-ooh), reach our souls (woo-ooh-ooh)

The scars, we wear them well
We've seen heaven, we've seen hell (yeah)

We will overcome
We're gettin' stronger (ooh-ooh)
Gettin' stronger (ooh-ooh) (yeah)
We will overcome
Till the nightmare is over (ooh-ooh)
Till it's over (ooh-ooh)
We will overcome

[Que Parks:]
Yeah
Plant the seed of freedom then watch it manifest
Prosperity in our vision, high up on the shelf (yeah)
Next to God's plan so don't get caught up in the quicksand
Pay no mind to what's trendin' (yeah)
Darkness cover us all but beyond the flesh
That's the spiritual nest for us to lay in, play in (yeah)
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 (yeah)
Gettin' stronger (mmh-mmh-mmh)
We will overcome
Till the nightmare is over (yeah)
Till it's over (mmh-mmh-mmh)
We will overcome
