Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We shall overcome (Yes Lord, Lord, Lord)
We shall overcome (One sweet day)
We shall overcome one day
We shall overcome one day
We shall overcome, oh Lord one day
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
If in our heart we do believe
Lord we shall overcome, Lord one day
[Verse 3]
We shall all have peace one day
(We shall all have peace)
We shall all have peace one day
(We shall all have peace)
We shall have peace, Lord, Lord one day
(One day)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
If in our heart Lord, we, we do believe
We shall all have peace, Lord one day
(On some day)
We shall all be free, one day Lord
(We shall all be free)
We shall all be free, one day Lord
(We shall all be free)
We shall all be free, Lord one day
(One day)
Lord, Lord
If in our heart we do believe, Lord
We shall be free, Lord one day
