Ted Hutt - We Shall Overcome lyrics

[Woman] Maybe I'm not here to be a superstar after all Maybe I'm here to pray for all those who have lost hope along the way [Verse 1] I'm on the verge of everything Reluctantly surrendering so honestly Tiptoe 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 ambition of a nation Zombies treadin' on decaying foundation Wasting, creating hostility among us Turning our back on our mother We're turning our back on our mother [Chorus] Look at what we've done I remember I remember I forgive I remember I remember I remember I forgive [Verse 2] These people are relentless, senseless, violent and racist Providing [inspiration?] in my day-to-day, endless Positivity can definitely be contagious Persuasive, cause I'm speaking my truth I got pennies in my pockets, but I'm picking fresh fruits Yeah, picking fresh fruits Got pennies in my pockets, but I'm picking fresh fruits Yeah, whoa Cause I live in a land of abundance Where the rain off my roof is sacred and precious And now we get to work can be found in riding horses Enormous with the courage that we like 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 [Chorus] I got one last thing on my mind I remember I remember I forgive I remember I remember I remember I forgive [Verse 3] 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 Separated from the dirt, from ourselves, from the song Every robot sings, with his hand to his heart: "I will k** for God, and I will hit my mark And I will stand like a fool for three colors of the treason" Nobody's bombing me, but other countries are weeping 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 Cause we rape, pillage and plunder [Chorus] So you can heat your house tonight I remember I remember I forgive I remember I remember I remember I forgive [Bridge] All my empowered people, put your ones up! Recognize our tribes are independent and restless Searching for purpose beneath the rubble and wreckage The message: Forgiveness starts with me! Yeah! With me! Stop blaming 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 k**ed my people My people k** your people But our people are all one people United by compa**ion for humanity's sake We wake and meditate on the light of a new day New chapter in the book of a thousand tongues Yeah, a thousand tongues We shall overcome I remember I remember I forgive [Outro] 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
