Deep in my heart, I do believe, we’ll walk hand in hand, we are not afraid, the whole wide world around, we shall overcome, someday.

Gospels at Heaven, a German gospel choir

“We Shall Overcome” was based on “I’ll Overcome Someday” by Charles Albert Tindley first published in 1900.

The lyrics recorded and popularized by Pete Seeger:

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.

 

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 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.

This is my prayer for the world today.

Deep in my heart, I do believe, that we shall overcome someday.
