[Theboss1985]

Born in a small town, where the streets have no names
He said, “Momma, I’m so confused, why does everyone look the same?”
She smiled, looked up and said, “Don’t worry son, you’ll be alright.”
He left but didn’t have too good a feeling, as he headed out into the night.

Walking around, a stranger in his hometown
Looking up to the heavens with his feet on the ground
Everybody is running, but nobody knows what from
Don’t worry, the voice says, "We will overcome."

When the boy turned fifteen, he thought he could make it on his own
Turned his back on what he had and ran away from his home
Never understood what he had or what he could lose
He just turned and ran away, didn’t want to be yesterday's news

Walking around, a stranger in his hometown
Looking up to the heavens with his feet on the ground
Everybody is running, but nobody knows what from
Don’t worry, the voice says, "We will overcome."

The streetlights blinded him as the midnight rain poured down
He looked up to god to pray but the water made him drown
Two women made their way towards him in the cold dark night
He turned to walk away, too young and tired to fight
He felt a hand grab him from behind and spin him around
He tripped and fell and his body crashed to the ground

Walking around, a stranger in his hometown
Looking up to the heavens with his feet on the ground
Everybody is running, but nobody knows what from
Don’t worry, the voice says, "We will overcome."

Boy’s still a runaway, out and on the run
Nothing but a suitcase, guitar and a loaded gun
Each day he tears down the reflection of the boy he used to be
Not realizing the loneliness of being free

Walking around, a stranger in his hometown
Looking up to the heavens with his feet on the ground
Everybody is running, but nobody knows what from
Don’t worry, the voice says, "We will overcome"

Boy got a job and is playing his music in a small little bar
He began to get noticed, him and his old guitar
He met the girl of his dreams and fell in love
A little gift for his success from up above

The boy grew up and became a man
Dedicated a song to his mother, his biggest fan
She knew just what it was from the first strum
It was called, “We Will Overcome.”

Walking around, a hero in his hometown
Looking up to the heavens with his feet still on the ground
Everybody is running and now he knows what from
Don’t worry, he sings, "We will overcome."
