We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome, some day.
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome some day.
We shall live in peace,
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.
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day.
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
we shall overcome some day.
Black and white together,
Black and white together.
Black and white together some day.
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome some day.
We are not afraid,
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
The whole wide world around some day.
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
We shall overcome some day.
"We Shall Overcome" è una canzone di protesta pacifista che divenne un inno del movimento per i diritti civili negli Stati Uniti d'America. La canzone probabilmente deriva da un gospel anonimo risalente agli inizi del Novecento che Pete Seeger apprese nel 1947 e contribuì a diffondere.
