What I've Overcome by Fireflight

I love this song. I've had the "For Those Who Wait" since almost the week it came out last year, but this song really hit home for me just recently when I really heard the words. I love Fireflight, their testimony is at the forefront of their music and they dont hesitate to be known as a "Christian Rock Band" like other bands are and I think because of that, people gravitate towards their music more, at least I do because they're an open book, and their music ROCKS. Dawn Michele has an incredible voice.




Back to the song, the lyirics speak for themselves,

(Songwriters: Justin Cox, Glenn Drennen, Wendy Drennen, Ben Glover, Dawn Richardson, Philip Shorb)

I've got this passion

It's something I can't describe

It's so electric

It's like I've just come alive

I feel this freedom

Now that my past is erased

I feel the healing

I've found the meaning of grace

(I found grace)

If only you could see me yesterday

Who I used to be before the change

You'd see a broken heart

You'd see the battle scars

Funny how words can't explain

How good it feels to finally break the chains

I'm not what I have done

I'm what I've overcome

I know I'll stumble

I know I'll still face defeat

These second chances will define me

So I'm moving forward

I'm standing on my two feet

I've got momentum

I've got someone saving me (got someone saving me)

If only you could see me yesterday

Who I used to be before the change

You'd see a broken heart

You'd see the battle scars

Funny how words can't explain

How good it finally feels to break the chains

I'm not what I have done

I'm what I've overcome

I make mistakes and I might fall

But I won't break

I've got someone saving me

If only you could see me yesterday

Who I used to be before the change

You'd see a broken heart

You'd see the battle scars

Funny how words can't explain

How good it feels to finally break the chains

I'm not what I have done

I'm what I've overcome

I'm what I've overcome

I'm what I've overcome
