overcome

To the fear and the temptation, I never will succumb

Lockdown in the physical, isolation is mental 

Still the griot roam 

Saz and kora strum 

When I listen to the drum 

From before the first light from before the morning sun

Pyramids and triangle could never be random 

Look into your heart, know the axiom

Be still and overcome  

Overcome yeah we will overcome 

Through the pestilence the heartache and the gun 

We will overcome

Overcome yeah we will overcome 

Through the locust and the earthquake black sun 

We will overcome 

Well I was trapped in my mind

In my own self confined

Fighting monsters designed

By my own weakness inside 

Bound by the chains I defined

Tormented by voices like mine 

Well I was restless long time 

Then I found peace of mind 

I heard a voice quiet as a river

Telling me to look far up river

Treasure greater than gold and silver

Only Jah delivers so

Overcome yeah we will overcome 

Through the pestilence the heartache and the gun 

We will overcome

Overcome yeah we will overcome 

Through the locust and the earthquake black sun 

We will overcome 

Hold onto your faith real tight

Everything is gonna be alright

When you feel like you’re losing your mind

Take a breath, relax and unwind 

Then push the limit of your energy

And find your balance inna the westerly 

No matter what you have been told

Jah is in control

Overcome yeah we will overcome 

Through the pestilence the heartache and the gun 

We will overcome

Overcome yeah we will overcome 

Through the locust and the earthquake black sun 

We will overcome
