Le parole sono ispirate al gospel "I'll overcome some day" di Charles Tindley (1900), la musica è tratta da uno spiritual del XIX secolo, "No More Auction Block for Me".

We shall overcome Charles Tindley
"I'll overcome some Day"
We shall overcome, we shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That 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
That 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
That we shall overcome some day
 

We shall brothers be, we shall brothers be
We shall brothers be some day
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That we shall overcome some day
 

The truth shall make us free, truth shall make us free
The truth shall make us free some day
Oh deep in my heart, I do believe
That 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
That we shall overcome some day
This world is one great battlefield
With forces all arrayed,
If in my heart I do not yield
I’ll overcome some day (x 3).
If in my heart I do not yield,
I’ll overcome some day.

Both seen and unseen powers join
To drive my soul astray,
But with His Word a sword of mine,
I’ll overcome some day (x 3)
But with His Word a sword of mine,
I’ll overcome some day.

A thousand snares are set for me,
And mountains in my way,
If Jesus will my leader be,
I’ll overcome some day (X 3)
If Jesus will my leader be,
I’ll overcome some day.

I fail so often when I try
My Savior to obey;
It pains my heart and then I cry,
Lord, make me strong some day (x 3)
It pains my heart and then I cry,
Lord, make me strong some day.

My mind is not to do the wrong,
But walk the narrow way;
I’m praying as I journey on,
To overcome some day (x3)
I’m praying as I journey on,
To overcome some day.

Though many a time no signs appear,
Of answer when I pray;
My Jesus says I need not fear,
He’ll make it plain some day.
I’ll be like Him some day,
I’ll be like Him some day;
My Jesus says I need not fear,
He’ll make it plain some day.
