Full Lyrics
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome some day, oh.
Deep in my heart I do believe,
We shall overcome some day, oh.
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain,
We all have sorrow.
But if we are wise,
We know that there's always tomorrow.
Lean on me when you are not strong,
And I'll be your friend,
I'll help you carry on.
For it won't be long,
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.
Please swallow your pride,
If I have faith you need to borrow.
For no one can fill those of your needs,
That you won't let show.
Just call on me brother, when you need a hand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
I just might have a problem that you'll understand,
We all need somebody to lean on.
If there is a load you have to bear,
That you can't carry.
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load,
If you just call me.
Call me, call me, call me,
Call me, call me, call me.
[Male Solo]
If you need a friend,
If you need somebody,
Just call me, just lean on me,
We can work it out.
[Chorus]
Yes! We shall overcome some day.
You got to lean on me.
We shall overcome some day.
Yes! We shall overcome, yes we can.
We shall overcome some day, some day.
