The entire song is just a I V vi IV progression in C majorC major
C majorC G+G A minorAm F:||

C majorC
I'm feeling powerless
G+G
I'm feeling hopeless
     A minorAm              FF
I see the world beneath us open to the darkness
     C majorC
I see it everywhere
      G+G
There's no progress
        A minorAm            FF
It's like I'm slowly giving into all the madness

C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
I stand here imperfect right before you
Been searching so long for a way to get through
Swallowed the universe abandoned my youth
I still can't forsake what I feel is true
I was made out of dust by a voice in the wind
To conquer my fears and rise like king
I will always evolve and never give in
I will follow my dreams cause I know I will win

FF            C majorC
And if you don't take a stand
G+G
You won't understand

C majorC
We will overcome
    G+G
We will overcome
          A minorAm
It's written in the wind
         FF         C majorC
Set the wheels in motion and rise again
      G+G        A minorAm
Higher and higher and higher
      FF
Higher and higher
A minorAm     G+G
We will overcome
  C majorC
My friend

C majorC G+G A minorAm FF
And I will not justify what I did
Through the pain sweat and tears I have learned to forgive
So live out your life cause it is a gift
And rise up above; take the whole world with you
I stand here naked this is my truth
Hold on to your innocence and beauty of youth
And don't ever forget the power lies within
Being born ain't a crime you can be what you want to

FF            C majorC
And if you don't take a stand
G+G
You won't understand

C majorC
We will overcome
    G+G
We will overcome
          A minorAm
It's written in the wind
         FF         C majorC
Set the wheels in motion and rise again
      G+G        A minorAm
Higher and higher and higher
      FF
Higher and higher
A minorAm     G+G
We will overcome
  C majorC

If we unite as one then everything is possible
