All these eyes are staring blindly at menJudge to jury and they're all thick as thievesnThey're on my heelsnThey're on my backnThey try to drag me downnnBut I will overcomenI'm really not that different from anyonenI can take it onnI will overcomenI will overcomennCountless tongues will try and twist fatenFrom start to finish everybody's got theirs saved nTheir words are sharpnThey're meant to stingnThey're trying to cut me downnnBut I will overcomenI'm really not that different from anyonenI can take it onnAnd I will overcomenI will overcomennAll those yesterdays don't mean a thing when it comes to nownCause it's a brand new day I'm making every moment countnnCause I will overcomenI'm really not that different from anyonenI can take it onnAnd I will overcomenI will overcomenI will overcomen(I can take it)nI can take it onnI can take it onnI will overcomenI will overcome
