We Will Overcome Songtext
von Thursday

We walk alone
′Til the end of night
It's suicide
But we will overcome

Another life
Swinging in the breeze
These southern trees
And the strangest fruit

Follow the path, the straight and narrow (hand and 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 (it ends between the crosshairs)
Our lives, weave a thousand deaths around us


Follow the path, the straight and narrow (hand and hand)
Our roads are paved with broken arrows
We will overcome
We will overcome

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

(We′ve been waiting)
We've been waiting for years
We've been waiting too long
(To see the Promised land)
To see the Promised land

We can′t wait no more
We will stand and make the Promised land
We will, we will overcome
Overcome
