We Shall Overcome
We Shall Overcome
We Shall Overcome Someday

Oh, Deep In My Heart
I Do Believe
We Shall Overcome Someday

We’ll Walk Hand In Hand

We Shall All Be Free
We Shall All Be Free Someday

Oh, Deep In My Heart …

We Are Not Afraid
We Are Not Afraid Today

Oh, Deep In My Heart …

The Lord Will See Us Through
The Lord Will See Us Through
The Lord Will See Us Through Someday
