C G Am F:||

CI'm feeling powerless
GI'm feeling hopeless
          Am                           FI see the world beneath us open to the darkness
         CI see it everywhere
           GThere's no progress
               Am                        FIt's like I'm slowly giving into all the madness

C G Am FI 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

F                       CAnd if you don't take a stand
GYou won't understand

        CWe will overcome
        GWe will overcome
                    AmIt's written in the wind
                  F                 CSet the wheels in motion and rise again
           G               AmHigher and higher and higher
            FHigher and higher
Am          GWe will overcome
    CMy friend

C G Am FAnd 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

F                       CAnd if you don't take a stand
GYou won't understand

        CWe will overcome
        GWe will overcome

                  F                 CSet the wheels in motion and rise again

Am          GWe will overcome
