When Will We Overcome?

[Intro]
Mm

[Verse 1]
We need a change now, O Lord, can You hear me?
Generations have cried the same song
The same song rose, poured out in melody
We shall overcome, when will we overcome?
We need a change now, O Lord, can You hear me?
Generations have cried the same song
The same song rose, poured out in melody
We shall overcome, when will we overcome?

[Refrain]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh

[Verse 2]
We need a change now, O Lord, can You hear me?
Too many days have been downcast and long
Restless hearts through the night are still singing
We shall overcome, when will we overcome?

[Refrain]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ooh, mm

[Chorus]
We shall persevere with the prayers of saints
And the songs we sing are the seeds of change
Your Kingdom comes in the smallest ways
From the suffering comes our strongest praise
We shall persevere with the prayers of saints
And the songs we sing are the seeds of change
Your Kingdom comes in the smallest ways
From the suffering comes our strongest praise
We shall persevere with the prayers of saints
And the songs we sing are the seeds of change
Your Kingdom comes in the smallest ways
From the suffering comes our strongest praise
We shall persevere with the prayers of saints
And the songs that we sing are the seeds of change
Your Kingdom here on Earth in the smallest ways
From the suffering comes our strongest praise

[Refrain]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
