Here and Now
And when the line is drawn
We will overcome
And when we understand that
Real love never, ever stalks
Real love never, ever inflicts harm
We will overcome
And when we remember
That we are only human
That we are finite
We will overcome
And when we accept that we are more
Than our failures
We will overcome
And when we sing louder
Louder than the setbacks
Because WE are PRECIOUS AND FEW
We will overcome
And when we can be the permanent tissue
For those that cry
We will overcome
And when we do unto others
We will overcome
And when we dedicate this to those
Who value our beautiful errors
Our flawed, potent smiles
And they return the favor
We will overcome.
