What I’ve Overcome Lyrics

I’ve got this passion
It’s something I can’t describe
It’s so electric
It’s like I’ve just come alive
I feel this freedom
Now that my past is erased
I feel the healing
I found the meaning of grace
(I found grace)

If only you could see me yesterday
Who I used to be before the change
You’d see a broken heart
You’d see the battle scars
It’s funny how words can’t explain
How good it feels to finally break the chains
I’m not what I have done
I’m what I’ve overcome

I know I’ll stumble
I know I’ll still face defeat
These second chances will define me
So I’m moving forward
I’m standing on my two feet
I’ve got momentum
I’ve got someone saving me
(Got someone saving me)

I’ll make mistakes and I might fall
But I won’t break
I’ve got someone saving me

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.

This song is awesome. To me, this song means finally breaking away from modern society and finally accepting God as your savior. Finally breaking the chains of a broken world, and overcoming anything between you and God. One of my favorites off the new CD! :)

I think this song is about accepting God like Chaseroonie said but also about letting God change you, from the inside out. You feel free, you feel light, and you feel passionate when God is in your heart, so she's saying that she's breaking the chains of the world or sin. But she's realistic about it- she knows she's going to fail somewhere down the line, she's going to make mistakes because she's not perfect.

But even with that knowledge of failure, she can still find strength in God because she knows He's right there beside her, forgiving her and encouraging her along the way. I love God :)
