you shall overcome
Follow the man walking toward the sun, and chant gain, -- We shall overcome-
we have been quiet for so long, wallowing in despair, waiting for redemption
so chant again, loud, loud, -we shall, we shall overcome
bring your empty cups, wooden spoon and all
he awaits, on top of the hill
beneath the Joshua tree
with joy of tears
and the songs
in his heart.
feel the life
that takes flight
under your skin, inside
beneath the flesh and bones
that is not all you are, awake your ethereal
soul, and chant loud, loud, -- we shall, we shall overcome
pass the words, mouth to mouth, hold the hands that hold hands
let the words be your guide, your boat, your caravan, your kite
for there
where we are delivered
on top of the hill, beneath the Joshua tree
he awaits, joys in his tears, whispering under lips
You shall, you shall overcome
