Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, we shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
[Verse 2]
Darlin', here in my heart
Yeah, I do believe
We shall overcome someday
[Verse 3]
Well, we'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand, someday
[Verse 4]
Darlin', here in my heart
Yeah, I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand, someday
[Verse 5]
Well, we shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace, someday
[Verse 6]
Darlin', here in my heart
Yeah, I do believe
We shall live in peace, someday
[Verse 7]
Well, we are not afraid
We are not afraid
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 8]
Well, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 9]
Yeah, we shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 10]
Darlin', here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 11]
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 12]
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
[Verse 13]
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)
[Verse 14]
(Oh)
