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 they're 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 I'll be stronger   And you better watch out      I will overcome, your violence their silence   Although it can't be undone   I will overcome, knowing that I'm not the only one   I will overcome, it's 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   It's always the same   Truth is never honest   When you're to blame      Pushing and pulling   Never give in, one day I wish   You'll see you're not so beautiful within      I will overcome, our violence your silence   Although it can't be undone   I will overcome, knowing that I'm not the only one   I will overcome, it's the only way to carry on      Run and run   Run and run      I will overcome, their violence your silence   Although it can't be undone   I will overcome, knowing that I'm not the only one   I will overcome, it's the only way to carry on      I will overcome
