Overcome - Charlotte Martin

Nothing feels right and nothing feels wrong

But living in this skin has made me a little bit too numb

So I’ll hold the hot coals in the palms of my hands

Just to burn away the layers if I can and I know

I will overcome

I will overcome

Say that I will and then I say that I won’t

Revisit this place inside that’s killing off my last hope

And it happened to me and then it happened to her

An angry fist from an uneducated temper

I will overcome

I will overcome

By love

By marching on (By marching on)

One foot in front of the other

One foot in front of the other

And then by faith

Message in hand

They told me I wouldn’t make it

They told me I couldn’t make it

Still I will overcome (One foot in front of the other)

I will overcome
