We Shall Overcome

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 believe

We shall overcome, some day.

We shall live in peace,

We shall live in peace,

We shall live in peace, some day.

Oh, deep in my heart,

I do believe

We shall overcome, some day.

We are not afraid,

We are not afraid,

We are not afraid, TODAY

Oh, deep in my heart,

I do believe

We shall overcome, some day.

The whole wide world around

The whole wide world around

The whole wide world around some day

Oh, deep in my heart,

I do believe

We shall overcome, some day.

"We Shall Overcome" is a gospel song which became a protest song and a key anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. The song is most commonly attributed as having descended lyrically from "I'll Overcome Some Day", a hymn by Charles Albert Tindley that was first published in 1900.

A couple of the usual haters appeared at Knoxville Pride yesterday afternoon to wave their anti-LGBT banners and shout abuse. Not having it was the touring Washington Gay Men’s Chorus, who encircled the haters to deliver a rousing rendition of We Shall Overcome. 

Thanks to Joe.My.God for the part about Knoxville Pride.
