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'd 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 saviours, 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,
I never give in;
But one day I wish you'll see
You're not so beautiful within.
I will overcome
Your 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
