We Shall Overcome

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.
