We Shall Overcome

Lyrics

I'm on the verge of everything
 Been lookin to be surrenderin so honestly
 Tip-toe to the edge of my destiny
 Free fall backwards great mystery
 Speakin to me, the pain of the youth
 The confusion of the people and their struggle for truth
 Yeah, regroup and renew
 Time to regroup, renew the ambtion of a nation
 Zombies treadin on decaying foundation
 Wasting, creating hostility among us
 Turnin our back on our mother
 We're turnin our back on our mother
 Look at what we've done
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I forgive
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I forgive
 These people are relentless, senseless, violent and racist
 Providing installation in my day to day endness
 Positivity can definately be contagious
 Persuasive, 'cause I'm speaking my truth
 I got my pennies in my pockets, but I'm pickin fresh fruits
 Yeah, pickin fresh fruits
 got my pennies in my pockets, but I'm pickin fresh fruits
 Yeah, whoaoh
 'Cause I live in a land of abundance
 Where the rain off my roof is sacred and precious
 And then we get the work to be found and ridin horses (?)
 we all must split the courage of we locked to front (?)
 Bringin it back to the land when there was food to hunt
 And yeah, when there was food to hunt
 And yeah, oh
 I got one last thing on my mind
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I forgive
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I forgive
 I'm learning the language of the planet
 We inhabit and stab it with
 The chemicals that we practice
 And I've had it with habits, it's tragic
 This trajectory course that we're on
 Seperated from the dirt, from ourselves, from the song
 Every robot sings, with his hand to his heart:
 "I will kill for god, and I will hit my mark
 And I will stand, like a fool, for free cuz of the treason"
 Nobody's bothering me, but other countries are weepin
 Choppin the mountains in half
 Can't you hear the earth screamin?
 Whoaoh, can't you hear the Earth screamin?
 Oh
 Blood oil for dinner, better have an appetite
 Yeah, Cuz we rape, pillage and plunder
 So you can heat your house tonight
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I forgive
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I forgive
 All my empowered people, put your ones up!
 Recognize our tribes are independant and restless
 Searching for purpose beneath the rubble and wreckage
 The message: Forgiveness starts with me!
 Yeah! With me!
 Stop blamin other people, take on the responsibility
 Of generations to come
 May they live in a world without governments and guns
 Without governments and guns
 Hey
 Whoaoh
 Your people who killed my people
 My people kill your people
 But our people are all one people
 United by compassion for humanity's sake
 We wake and meditate on the light of a new day
 New chapter in the book of a thousand tounges
 Yeah, a thousand tounges
 We shall overcome
 I remember...
 I remember...
 I forgive
 Yeah, we shall overcome
 (We shall overcome)
 Yeah, we shall overcome
 (We shall overcome)
 I remember, I remember
 (We shall overcome)
 I remember, I remember
 (We shall overcome)
 Yeah, we shall overcome
 (We shall overcome)
 I remember, I remember
 (We shall overcome)
 Ooo yeah, I forgive
 (We shall overcome)
 I remember, I remember...
