I Will Overcome Lyrics

All these eyes are staring blindly at me
Judge to jury and they're all thick as thieves
They're on my heels
They're on my back
They try to drag me down

But I will overcome
I'm really not that different from anyone
I can take it on
I will overcome
I will overcome

Countless tongues will try and twist fate
From start to finish everybody's got theirs saved
Their words are sharp
They're meant to sting
They're trying to cut me down

But I will overcome
I'm really not that different from anyone
I can take it on
And I will overcome
I will overcome

All those yesterdays don't mean a thing when it comes to now
Cause it's a brand new day I'm making every moment count

Cause I will overcome
I'm really not that different from anyone
I can take it on
And I will overcome
I will overcome
I will overcome
(I can take it)
I can take it on
I can take it on
I will overcome
I will overcome

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
