We Shall Overcome

We Shall Overcome é mais que uma música, é um hino do movimento dos direitos civis dos negros nos EUA surgido na década de 50. A canção é derivada de uma música gospel do Reverendo Charles Tindley, aqui executada com maestria por Joan Baez, que não é apenas uma brilhante cantora, mas uma ativista que esteve ao lado de Martin Luther King, foi contra a Guerra do Vietnam, lutou pelos Direitos Humanos, pelos direitos dos gays, contra a pobreza, enfim, se engajou em diversas lutas humanitárias (inclusive formou seu próprio grupo de direitos humanos - Humanitas International).



We shall overcome, we shall overcome,
We shall overcome someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

The Lord will see us through, The Lord will see us through,
The Lord will see us through someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall overcome someday.

We're on to victory, We're on to victory,
We're on to victory someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We're on to victory someday.

We'll walk hand in hand, we'll walk hand in hand,
We'll walk hand in hand someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We'll walk hand in hand someday.

We are not afraid, we are not afraid,
We are not afraid today;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We are not afraid today.

The truth shall set us free , the truth shall set us free,
The truth shall set us free someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
The truth shall set us free someday.

We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace,
We shall live in peace someday;
Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,
We shall live in peace someday.
