A soul can withstand a lot before it caves
And what doesn’t crush it makes it better
Bareness and cold have never robbed our joy
We stand our ground and pray for better weather

We have never been the kind to fall apart
When the wind starts blowing
We have never been the kind to drift away
Instead we raise our anchor and keep going

We overcome, we overcome
We mourn the things we’ve lost and cherish what we’ve won
We have overcome, We have overcome

It takes a lot of strength to face another day
When the day before it left you beaten
But every painful step brings you closer to a world
That will be better for your children

We overcome, we overcome
We mourn the things we’ve lost and cherish what we’ve won
We have overcome, We have overcome

And we are not the sum of our mistakes
We are a testament to the sacrifices that were made

We overcome, we overcome
We mourn the things we’ve lost and cherish what we’ve won
We have overcome, We have overcome
