Lyrics

Mahalia jackson---we shall overcome

We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome someday

The lord will see us through, the lord will see us through
The lord will see us through someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome someday

We're on to victory, we're on to victory
We're on to victory someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We're on to victory someday

We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand someday

We are not afraid, we are not afraid
We are not afraid today;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We are not afraid today

The truth shall make us free, the truth shall make us free
The truth shall make us free someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
The truth shall make us free someday

We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace
We shall live in peace someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall live in peace someday
