Petra - Beat the System lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on Romans 8:37, Mark 10:31, Matthew 10:39

Caught in the undertow being swept downstream

Going against the flow seems like such a dream

Trying to hold your ground when you start to slide

Pressure to compromise comes from every side

Wise up, rise up

(Chorus)

You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat

You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat - dare to

Beat the System

On the assembly line trying to break the mold

Time to throw the wrench that will stop it cold

Going against the odds being the underdog

Dare to wield the sword that will slice the fog

You can go for it all

You can go for broke

You can turn the tide around

You can aim for the top

And take the lion's share

If you dare to hold your ground
