Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome, someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I know that I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 2]
We shall be all right
We shall be all right
We shall be all right, someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I know that I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 3]
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace, someday
Oh, deep in my heart
I know that I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 4]
We are not afraid
Oh, Lord, not afraid
Oh, Lord, not afraid, today
Oh, deep in my heart
I know that I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
[Verse 5]
We shall overcome
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord (We shall overcome, someday)
Oh, deep in my heart
I know that I do believe
We shall overcome, someday
