Lyrics
We Will Overcome
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We walk alone
Till the end of night
It's suicide
But we will overcome
Another life
Swinging in the breeze
These southern trees
Have the strangest fruit
Follow the path that's straight and narrow, hand in hand
Our roads are paved with broken arrows
We will overcome
We will overcome
Our fathers plant arms in foreign soil
Our brothers die
And no one knows
Where it ends (between the crosshairs)
All lies weave a thousand deaths around us
Follow the path that's straight and narrow, hand in hand
Our roads are paved with broken arrows
We will overcome
We will overcome
Follow the path that's straight and narrow, hand in hand
Our roads are paved with broken arrows
We will overcome
We will overcome
We will overcome
If no one sleeps tonight
We will overcome
We will overcome
If no one sleeps tonight
We will wait for this
We waited too long
To see the Promised land
We can't wait no more
We will stand up at the Promised land
We will overcome (We will overcome)
Overcome
[Note: Here is the chorus according to the cd booklet:
{If you} follow the path that's straight and narrow, {go} hand in hand
{Because} our roads are paved with broken arrows]
