TTBB a cappella

A 19th-century spiritual re-consecrated by Pete Seeger and The Weavers as the best-known anthem for the American Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Arranged to be sung on the march, this version begins with one voice, slowly adds voices and strength, and concludes with the audience or congregation joining in.

Text

1. We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome some day.
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe that
we shall overcome some day.

2. We’ll walk hand in hand…

3. We shall all have peace…

4. We are not afraid,
We are not afraid,
We are not afraid today,
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe that
we are not afraid today,

5. We shall overcome…
