Lift Every Voice and Sing

Lift every voice and sing 'til earth and heaven ring

Ring with the harmonies of liberty

Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies

Let it resound loud as a roar out as the rolling sea

Lift every voice and sing (lift every voice and sing)

'Til earth and heaven ring ('til earth and heaven ring), ring with the harmonies of liberty

Let our rejoicing rise high as the listening' skies (high)

Let it resound loud as a roar out as the rolling sea (sing a song!)

Sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught us

Sing a song full of hope that the present has brought us

This is the rising sun of our new day begun

Let us march on to victory this one day, someday we shall overcome

God of our weary years, God of our silent tears

Thou who has brought us thrusted far on the way

Thou who has guided outside led us into the light

To keep us forever in your party day

Come on, brothers and sisters

Focusing on our incredible destiny, let's join together

(March on) march on, my brothers, (my sisters) my sisters, come on

March on (what are you waitin' for? Come together)

March on, my brothers, my sisters, come on (hand in hand, arm in arm, heart-to-heart)

(We've got to march on) march on (hey, yeah)

Pray on, my brothers, my sisters (oh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Come on (come on), pray on (pray on)

(Pray on, my brothers) pray on, my brothers, my sisters

(You've got the victory) come on, pray on

You've got to fight on (fight on)

Fight on, my brothers, my sisters, come on

Shall we be fighting when we're forever sainted?

It's hood to our God (it's hood to our God)

It's hood to our God (it's hood to our God)

(We shall overcome) we shall overcome (someday) someday
