Overcame
When the weight of your past keeps pulling you down, sometimes the only way forward is one day at a time. Overcame is about choosing freedom over bitterness, and trusting the One who already won the battle.
Written and performed by The Embassy Project. From the album Sealed (2016).
Lyrics
I've got to get over the part of my heart I've hidden away
Wanna let you clear the slate, I wanna be free from
The little bitter pill I've hidden inside
Gonna live while I'm alive
Yes, I'm gonna live one day at a time
Gonna be free of these chains
Gonna clear my soul and free my mind
I know that you overcame, you overcame
I've got to remember I'm gonna fall down
Gonna blow it sometimes
And that's a part of life
I know that I'm broken
But I can make a start
Renewing my mind if I care to take the time
Yes, I'm gonna live one day at a time
Gonna be free of these chains
Cause you clear my soul and free my mind
I know that you overcame
I can choose to live in isolation
I can try and make it on my own
But it only leads to more frustration
When we haven't grown
Well, I'm gonna live one day at a time
Gonna be free of these chains
Cause you clear my soul and free my mind
I know that you overcame
Yes, I'm gonna live one day at a time
Gonna be free of these chains
Cause you clear my soul and free my mind
I know that you overcame, you overcame
