We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome, someday,
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome, someday,
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, someday,
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, someday,
Our day will come, come on now!

Our day will come, our day will come,
Our day will come, someday,
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome, someday,
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, someday,
Okay now, everybody singing along, we shall overcome!

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