We Shall Overcome

We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome, some day (some day)
Oh-oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day

I'm talking to you 'bout this day
Coming nearer every day
This day that somewhere rise again
This day when we are free my friend

Yes, it's a hard rain falling (oh-oh, yeah)
And it's a bloody fire burning (oh-oh, yeah)
But we will keep on standing firm (oh-oh, yeah)
Finally, we'd have to turn

We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome, some day (some day)
Oh-oh-oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day

No matter how many are their rules (no matter, no matter)
No matter how many are these fools (no matter, no matter)
No matter how heavy are the chains (oh, no)
Do not they know we're not afraid?

Maybe the hardest rains are falling (hard rains are falling)
Maybe the bloody fire is burning (bloody fire burning)
Can not they see we won't give up? (Oh, no)
For those who fall, then we'll stand up

We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome, some day (some day)
Oh-oh-oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day

We shall overcome, some day
(oh, we shall overcome)
Yes, we shall overcome
(Yes, we overcome some day)

Maybe the hardest rains are falling
Maybe the bloody fire is burning
Can not they see we won't give up?
For one will fall, still we'll stand up

We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome, some day (some day)
Oh-oh-oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
(Tell them, we're not afraid)
We're not afraid, we're not afraid
We're not afraid today (today)
Oh-oh-oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day

We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome, some day (some day)
Deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome, some day
