Lyrics
In this world, you're gonna have, trials and tribulations.
My words have filled your heart with sorrow.
But I would not leave you comfortless.
I must go, till you get home.
Chorus:
I have overcome the world.
Be of good cheer.
I have overcome the world.
I done it for you.
I have overcome the world.
It's got nothing on you.
I have overcome.
Verse II:
In this world, you're gonna cry.
Sometimes, you're even gonna say good-bye.
My words have passed your lips with sorrow.
But don't give up in your time of need.
I'll be there, you just call on me.
I have overcome
Bridge:
The world...
Everything that makes you sad.
Everything that makes you mad.
I have overcome the world.
In a little while you won't see me.
But in a little while, you're gonna see me again.
One day, I promise you.
Solo
Verse III
In this world, you're gonna die.
Your soul is something different than your life.
And my words may seem too hard.
Face tomorrow.
But hold on! Change is on it's way!
Talk to me everyday.
I have overcome the world.
Oooh the World.
The wide....world.
