[Verse 1]

We walk alone

Till the end of night

It's suicide

But we will overcome

[Verse 2]

Another life

Swinging in the breeze

These southern trees

Have the strangest fruit

[Pre-Chorus]

Follow the path, the straight and narrow (Hand and hand)

Our roads are paved with broken arrows

[Chorus]

We will overcome

We will overcome

[Verse 3]

Our fathers plant arms in foreign soil

Our brothers die

And no one knows

Where it ends (It ends between the crosshairs)

Our lives weave a thousand deaths around us

[Pre-Chorus]

Follow the path, the straight and narrow (Hand and hand)

Our roads are paved with broken arrows

[Chorus]

We will overcome

We will overcome

[Bridge]

Follow the path, the straight and narrow (Hand and 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

[Outro]

(We've been waiting)

We've been waiting for years

We been waiting too long

(To receive the Promised land)

To receive the Promised land

We can't wait no more

We will stand and make the Promised land

We will overcome

Overcome
