"We Shall Overcome" is a protet song that became a key anthem of the US civil rights movement. The lyrics of the song are derived from the refrain of a gospel song by Charles Albert Tindley. The song was published in 1947 as "We Will Overcome" in the People's Songs Bulletin.

 

Lyrics:
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'll walk hand in hand
 
 
We'll walk hand in hand
 
We'll walk hand in hand some day


 

 
We shall all be free
 
 
We shall all be free
We shall all be free some day

 
We are not afraid
 
 
We are not afraid
 
We are not afraid some day

 
We are not alone
 
 
We are not alone
We are not alone some day

 
The whole wide world around
 
 
The whole wide world around
 
The whole wide world around some 

 
We shall overcome
 
 
 
We shall overcome
 
 
We shall overcome some day
