Overcome - The Unity Of Us

The Barracks
#61

I was told that the dream I had would never last
Told countless times that I had no chance, so I Never fought for what I ought to.
I always thought, I had no strength enough.
Now I Do, and I tell you, go fight for what you wan
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise or you might just meet your demise.
Through the ups and the downs, through the highs and the lows
To prevail is to hold on and not let go
So me telling it now and today
thats is the reason why I pray
and you keep me in my powerfull way
showing it to them - when trying bring me down again
Going against the grain is the only way I know
I will never let myself down
This is how I’m going to show the world
I will never drown

Yes, this I promise you and everyone
Going on and on, there’s so much I have done
All i had ever seen was just sorrow
But i’m no more caught in the undertow
Now I’ve finally risen from my grave
Looking forward to the sunrise of a new day
And when I’ll see the light I’ll have to go
To the new places that I’ve never known
So me telling it now and today
thats is the reason why I pray
and you keep me in my powerfull way
showing it to them - when trying bring me down again
(Chorus)
Going against the grain is the only way I know
I will never let myself down
This is how I’m going to show the world
I will never drown
(My lines to join onto chorus 1)
I can swim against the toughest tides
Climb the highest mountine
Even though they said I couldn’t do it
I played that down and defied it
Final Build up
When they had told me no
No way to go, I must have known
That no remorse would be shown
But I refuse to be put down
yeah I show that my strength’s already grown
I left the past behind
Got different things on my mind
and here comes the new me
Revived, returned and supreme
No more those vultures weave
Above my head: the sunrise is here
So now I leave
To the lands that finally bring me peace

Ok Band

I want to take this time in thanking each and everyone of you for the time and effort you put into each song and also for helping making this happen

also we need a song name

Up until recently I have had writers block (with my own stuff) but now I have started writing again and I believe you are all the reason I have refound my stride

I would also like to take this moment in saying that I think we should take a mid-season break as it’s my Partners birthday on Sunday, Christmas the week after that and then my daughters bday just over a week after christmas so I am going to be uber busy during the holidays

I should be able to keep on top on BOTS: BOTA (maybe hehe)

So for those that Celebrate it
Have a Merry Christmas, if you don’t celebrate it, I hope you enjoy the time off (enjoy the holidays) never the less
and we will go onto the next project after then.

P.S. If you want to do the next project without me that is also fine just tag me in the end product so I can give my feedback too :slight_smile:

Yeh snap

But eh sometimes these things happen

We have two titles at the moment

#70

I’ve thought up a couple of titles like “Rise” and “Breathing Again”.
Maybe we should make a poll?

#71

Congrats and merry Christmas to you too! This holiday season is the busiest time of the year. Great idea to take a break for a few weeks for The Unity Of Us.

For, now here is another input for whenever we get to write a song together again :upside_down:

Title: Surreal
Genre: whatever :stuck_out_tongue:

Surreal World - NickGr

Merry Christmas to you too and happy birthday to your partner and daughter!

Merry Christmas and have a great holiday! We got to thank you too, cause we never would have started this writing without you.
