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
We'll walk hand in hand, some day
Deep in my heart
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
We shall overcome, some day
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace, some day
We shall live in peace, some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
The most important verse if the one they wrote down in Montgomery Alabama
They said 'We are not afraid'
And the young people taught everybody else a lesson
All the older people that had learned how to compromise
And learned how to take it easy, and be polite, and get along
And leave things as they were
The young people taught us all a lesson
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 overcome, some day
The whole wide world around
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
