Lyrics
We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome some day,
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome some day.

We’ll walk hand in hand, we’ll walk hand in hand,
We’ll walk hand in hand some day,
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome some day.

We are not afraid, we are not afraid.
We are not afraid today,
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome some day,

We shall stand together, we shall stand together,
We shall stand together – now,
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome someday.

The truth will make us free, the truth will make us free.
The truth will make us free some day,
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome some day.

The Lord will see us through, the Lord will see us through.
The Lord will see us through some day.
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome some day.

We shall be like Him, we shall be like Him,
We shall be like Him someday,
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome someday.

We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace.
We shall live in peace some day.
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome some day.

The whole wide world around, the whole wide world around.
The whole wide world around some day.
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome some day.

We shall overcome, we shall overcome.
We shall overcome some day.
Oh, deep in my heart I do believe
We shall overcome some day.
