Intro :

We shall overco me, We shall o vercom e,

We shall overc ome, some d ay.

Oh oh, deep in my he art, I do beli eve

We shall overcom e, s ome day

I'm talking to you 'bout this day, co ming ne arer every d ay

This day that s omewhere rise ag ain, this day when we are free my fri end

Yes it's a hard rain fa lling, and it's a blo ody fire bu rning

But we will k eep on standing firm, fina ly th ey will have to turn

(Refrain)

No matter how many are their rules, no matter how many are these fools

No matter how heavy are the chains, do not they know we're not afraid ?

Maybe the hardest rains are falling, maybe the bloody fire is just burning

Can not they see we won't give up, for those who fall then we'll stand up

(Refrain)

No matter how many are their rules, no matter how many are these fools

No matter how heavy are the chains, do not they know we're not afraid ?

Maybe the hardest rains are falling, maybe the bloody fire is just burning

Can not they see we won't give up, for those who fall then we'll stand up

(Refrain)

I'm talking to you 'bout this day, coming nearer every day

This day that somewhere rise again, this day when we are free my friend

Oh oh, deep in my heart, I do believe

We shall overcome, some day
