First penned as a hymn by Reverend Charles Albert Tindley, "We Shall Overcome" has become an iconic civil rights anthem around the world.
This is an a cappella arrangement that builds to four-part harmony.
lyrics
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome someday
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall overcome someday.
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand someday
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
That we'll walk hand in hand someday.
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.
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace
We shall live in peace someday
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall live in peace someday.
We shall all be free
We shall all be free
We shall all be free someday
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall all be free someday.
I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell
