Lyrics
(Gospel song, Original lyrics: Charles Albert Tindley, 1900, Adaptations by: Zilphia Horton, Frank Hamilton, Guy Carawan, Pete Seeger)
1. We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday.
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.
2. We are not afraid, we are not afraid,
We are not afraid today. Oh, deep…
3. Truth shall make us free, truth shall make us free,
Truth shall make us free someday. Oh, deep…
