The Wolfe Tones Lyrics

"We Shall Overcome"

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 want civil rights!)

We want civil rights, we want civil rights
We want our equal rights today
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day
(We want our voting rights!)

We want our voting rights, we want our voting rights
We want equal chance today
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day
(Our day will come, come on now!)

Our day will come, our day will come
Our day will come, some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day
(We are not afraid, come on, let's hear you now!)

We are not afraid, we are not afraid
We are not afraid today
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe (I believe!)
We shall overcome some day
(Okay now, everybody singin' along, we shall overcome!)

We shall overcome, we shall overcome (We shall overcome)
We shall overcome, some day
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe (I believe!)
We shall overcome some
We shall overcome some
We shall overcome, some day
(Tiocfaidh ár lá!)
