Black History Month: We Shall Overcome
Lyrics of traditional gospel song, audio from speech by M.L. King, Jr.

1. We shall overcome
   We shall overcome
   We shall overcome some day
   CHORUS:
   Oh, deep in my heart
   I do believe
   We shall overcome some day
2. We’ll walk hand in hand
   We’ll walk hand in hand
   We’ll walk hand in hand some day
   CHORUS
3. We shall all be free
   We shall all be free
   We shall all be free some day
   CHORUS
4. We are not afraid
   We are not afraid
   We are not afraid some day
   CHORUS
5. We are not alone
   We are not alone
   We are not alone some day
   CHORUS
6. The whole wide world around
   The whole wide world around
   The whole wide world around some day
   CHORUS
7. We shall overcome
   We shall overcome
   We shall overcome some day
   CHORUS
