The song “OVERCOME” by LIVE sums up everything for me regarding 9/11 on this the 10th anniversary of that tragic day. It was written long before that day but it sort of became an anthem. Here’s the song with video clips and audio clips about the events of 9/11.
Even now
The world is bleeding
But feeling just fine
All num in a castle
Where were always free to choose
Never free enough to find
I wish something would break
Cuz were running out of time
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome
These women in the street
Pulling out their hair
My masters in the yard
Giving light to the unaware
This plastic little place
Is just a step amongst the stairs
And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome
So drive me out, yeah
Out to that open field
Turn the ignition off
And spin around
Your help is here
But Im parked in this open space
But locking the gates of love
I am overcome
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs
Holy water, holy water
I am overcome
Beautiful drowning
This beautiful drowning
This holy water
This holy water, is in my lungs
And I am overcome
I am overcome, yeah
Heh, i, heh, i, heh, I am overcome
I am overcome lord
