O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep now)
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep
The wise man built his house upon the rock
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep
You run to the rock to hide yourself
The rock lookin' hidin' place for itself
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)
//instrumental break//
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep
Daniel was thrown in the lions' den
Jonah was caught in the belly of a whale
But we shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
O children, don't you weep (don't you weep)
O children, don't you weep, don't you moan
O children, don't you weep...
