Overcome - As I Lay Dying

All these moments of pain

Must add up to something

Our bodies have been trained to keep it all in

But our hearts still hold on

Some say to release it, forget about your past

Instead we count the cost, it’s part of us

That doesn’t mean that we cannot move on

It’s just a memory of what we once were

No matter what it is we’ve faced

It’s now part of us (part of us)

We can overcome

Why rid of fuel that can make us stronger

When properly put behind us?

(put behind us)

And in the same way that

Everything good in life can be taken away

So can all this pain

No matter what it is we’ve faced

It’s now part of us (part of us)

No matter what we’ve faced in this life

We can overcome

Trying to forget is a burden we can never bear

When facing trials openly

There’s nothing left to hide

New paths of strength come alive

We can overcome

No matter what it is we’ve faced

It’s now part of us (part of us)

No matter what we’ve faced in this life

We can overcome
