Beat the System cover
01. Beat the System
Album: Beat the System
Artist: Petra
 

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

Words and music by Bob Hartman / ©1984 Dawn Tender Music / SESAC

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