We shall overcome
And will never succumb
We firmly believe
We shall overcome
One day

Injustice will not stand
Power concedes nothing
Without demand
We firmly believe
We’ll get to the Promised Land
One day

Freedom is our common destiny
When based on human dignity
We firmly believe
We’ll restore to humanity
One day

Brotherhood and love
Blessings from above
We firmly believe
The world shall free the dove
One day

Peace is our path and oasis
When based on equality and justice
We firmly believe
That’s what all will practice
One day

We shall never fail
The innocents will be
Free from jail
We firmly believe
The truth will definitely prevail
One day

We shall remain steadfast
At present as in the past
We firmly believe
We’ll be free at last
One day

We shall be patient and cope
Unity is our only hope
We firmly believe
We’ll cut the victory rope
One day
