Where are the heroes
In my time of need?
Is my crying abandoned?
Or have they gone all numb
Oh no

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 better watch out

I will overcome
In violence there's silence
Oh no, 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
The truth is never honest
When you're to blame

Pushing and pulling
Never give in
One day I wish
You’ll see you're not so beautiful within

I will overcome
The violence your silence
Oh no, 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
The violence your silence
Oh no, 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

Say my name
So I will know you're back,
You're here again
For a while
Oh let us share the memories that only we can share together
Tell me about
The days before I was born
How we were as children

You touch my hand
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind
To be with you again

We breathe the air
Do you remember how you used to touch my hand?
You're not aware
Your hands keep still
You just don't know that I am here
It hurts too much
I pray now that soon you release to where you belong

You touch my hand
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind
To be with you again

Please say my name
Remember who I am
You will find me in the world of yesterday
You’ll drift away again
Too far from where I am
When you ask me who I am

Say my name
These colours come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind
To be with you again

Say my name

The turn against
The world we know
Now our destiny

Will be decided
We have to send our brothers in arms

With pain in our heart
We watched them go
Will they return?
Truth is we have no choice
We'll try to shield those we can
No better world
Let this end
Mothers cry

Our boys die
But we'll stand 'till the end

I did my best to please you
But my best was never good enough
Somehow you're only able to see
All I am not

Did you ever look behind
Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find
I have failed you
But you have failed me too

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
In your life why didn't you ever try

I close my eyes as I walk the thin line between love and hate
For the person with the same blood in his veins

You show no regrets
About all the things you did or said
I have failed you
But believe me you failed me too

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
In your life why didn't you ever try

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified

It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified
