We shall overcome… / We shall overcome, some day
Oh, deep in my heart / I do believe / We shall overcome, some day
We’ll walk hand in hand… / We’ll walk hand in hand, some day
Deep in my heart / Oh, deep in my heart / I do believe… / I do believe / We shall overcome, some day…
We shall live in peace… / We shall live in peace, some day…
Oh, deep in my heart / I do believe / We shall overcome, some day
The most important verse if the one they wrote down in Montgomery, Alabama / They said: “We are not afraid” / And the young people taught everybody else a lesson / All the older people that had learned how to compromise / And learned how to take it easy, and be polite, and get along / And leave things as they were / The young people taught us all a lesson
We are not afraid… / We are not afraid, today
Oh, deep in my heart / I do believe / We shall overcome, some day…
The whole wide world around… / The whole wide world around, some day
Oh, deep in my heart / I do believe / We shall overcome, some day
