Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
[Chorus]
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome someday
[Verse 2]
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand someday
[Chorus]
Oh, deep in my heart
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
[Chorus]
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome someday
[Verse 4]
We shall all be free
We shall all be free
We shall all be free someday
[Chorus]
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome someday
[Verse 5]
We are not afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid today
[Chorus]
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome someday
[Verse 6]
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
[Chorus]
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome someday
