| Lyrics: | Raise a glass for the last man standing, Final call at the bar, We were so young once, Isn’t time a cruel reminder of that change? Noone could question the weight that we carried. We shall overcome We can’t change what is done The will of God is strong We shall overcome When you’re lost and everything around you is disappearing, Where do you go? Winters so cold in a school with no heat The memories are warming the kids with no socks on there feet, In a place that always seems dark Digging holes in the road and running through Elswick park, We shall overcome We can’t change what is done The will of God is strong We shall overcome We shall overcome We can’t change what is done The will of God is strong We shall overcome We shall overcome We can’t change what is done The will of God is strong We shall overcome |
