Lyrics
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
Overcome
Feel it deep within my heart you know
And it?s stronger now cause I believe
That we?re gonna overcome someday
It?ll be better than we?ve ever seen
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
Overcome
We?ll be walking hand in hand someday
No we?re not afraid to be free
Not alone, with the whole wide world
As we stand up for our liberty
We shall overcome
Everybody sing it
We shall overcome
Everybody sing it now
Overcome
Solo
We shall overcome
On and on and on it goes
And where it stops no one can know
But if we sing together now
We can change the world somehow
Sing it with love
Sing it with your neighbor
Sing it with the force of all your human nature
Now
Overcome
