Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song in a very difficult time of my life, and as I was writing these words I thought "one day I'll say what I'm just writing right now" I haven't overcome yet, even though in my song I say I have. My victory hasn't arrived yet, but I'm still looking for it, I'm still believing.

Song Description

Basically it's a song about victory. I think it has a message of hope for everyone which is "Don't give up, even though everything seems to be awful, and your life seems like it never changes, don't give up" One day you will overcome all your troubles but at the moment just find your strength to go on.

Lyrics

Gather round my brothers
There's something I need to say
Finally my pains are over
Let's celebrate this happy day

I struggled for this joy
I cried for this joy
I made a lot of efforts for this joy
Here I am now
Realizing I made it somehow
I can say aloud

Chorus:
I have overcome!
I have overcome!
I have overcome amazingly
Long lonely years
Facing all my countless fears
But I've overcome eventually

(Sweet happiness you were far
Happy people told me about you
But only now I know who you are)

Unreachable happiness
You were so far
And you seem so near now
I'm realizing what you really are

I struggled to reach you
I cried to reach you
I made a lot of efforts to reach you
Here I am now
Realizing I made it somehow
Let me say aloud

Chorus:
I have overcome!
I have overcome!
I have overcome amazingly
Long lonely years
Facing all my countless fears
But I've overcome eventually

Bridge:

I reached the top somehow

No more future

No more past

But right now

I'm safe

I'm through with casting around

The life I had conceived

It's here to be lived

I turned loneliness to brotherhood

I turned evil into good

I made richness out of misery

I made myself my own victory

Chorus:
I have overcome!
I have overcome!
I have overcome amazingly
Long lonely years
Facing all my countless fears
But I've overcome eventually

Making myself my one and only victory
