We Shall Overcome Lyrics

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'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day

Oh, deep in my heart
I do...

    This song is inspirational and It talks about people working together in order to overcome obstacles. It is also a connection to the lord.

    One wholesome and inspirational song written by a godly negro, that was rooted in the south as a gospel song first. Where this song was rearranged and inspired to be sung by the likes of Pete Seeger[r.i.p] and JOAN BAEZ with the many other communities and their communist flowering Folkorists. About ''overcoming'' our own struggles from within ourselves and overcoming this world's sins of oppression in order for obtaining our freedom and equal rights peacefully. Like by what Rev. Martin Luther King worked for and prophetized the word of God for us, along with the many other freedom fighters in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that ''We Shall Overcome'' our foes or anotherwords the sins of 'the man'. Relevant in today's day as ever was, especially since our American pres. Donald J. Trump ''overcame'' and has been guideing us towards ''knowing the truth'' to be only found in God again That the Radical Left wing Revolutionary Leaders of the 60's and 70's who were Je[w]suit and Zionistically infiltrated to lose track of God and sell out for the easy money and power to join ''The Man'' of the swamp as the crooked Government that was called back than. A famous quote by Neitzche about the man, who said ''Man is something that shall be overcome. Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman--a rope over an abyss. What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.'' Meaning, man should be overcomed and not to be worshiped in anyway as an end of God[Jesus Christ] in man that is God and not Ourselves who's ''The Man'' in this world to be worshiped. Only God is God that should be worshiped and not Men, which this world wants you to sinfully ideolize and worship.

    this song is awfully repetitive and honestly ear piercing. I cant stand the song of Joan Baez's yodel singing.
