[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
