We Shall Overcome Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome someday

[Refrain]
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall overcome someday

[Verse 2]
We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand someday

[Refrain]
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall overcome someday

[Verse 3]
We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace
We shall live in peace someday

[Refrain]
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall overcome someday

[Verse 4]
We shall brothers be, we shall brothers be
We shall brothers be someday

[Refrain]
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall overcome someday

[Verse 5]
The truth shall make us free, truth shall make us free
The truth shall make us free someday

[Refrain]
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall overcome someday

[Verse 6]
We are not afraid, we are not afraid
We are not afraid today

[Refrain]
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall overcome someday

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
