Eu Vencerei
Antônia Gomes
I Will Overcome
I learned that life ain't easy
I know it's tough to carry on
I know that when everything's alright
Then there's nothing missing, no one gone
Friends to smile with, we always have
But when plans go wrong
Then they judge you as a failure
And no one stays by your side
Friends just disappear
And those who laughed with you leave you alone with your fear
It's like this, in this world of appearances, only what you have counts
Those with a lot are worth a lot, those with nothing are just nobody
But I won't let it get me down
I know in God's law, the proud will be brought low
And the humble will be lifted high
With friends or without friends, I will always fight
Knowing that with me is the great God Jehovah!
I will overcome, I will fight, I will persist, I know I will overcome
God is with me, my faithful friend, I know I will overcome
Any day now this wall will fall
I will overcome, the trial will pass
The door will open and then I'll walk through
And as a reward for all the tears I've cried
The trophy of victory I will receive
It's like this, in this world of appearances, only what you have counts
Those with a lot are worth a lot, those with nothing are just nobody
But I won't let it get me down
But in God's law, the proud will be brought low
And the humble will be lifted high
With friends or without friends, I will always fight
Knowing that with me is the great God Jehovah!
I will overcome, I will fight, I will persist, I know I will overcome
God is with me, my faithful friend, I know I will overcome
Any day now this wall will fall
I will overcome, the trial will pass
The door will open and then I'll walk through
And as a reward for all the tears I've cried
The trophy of victory I will receive
I will receive it
