I never saw them sit in Greensboro
But I have heard them say
"Do you remember dreams?"
I know it's not a land full of brothers
Who love or even like one another
But there's a promised land
If you remember dreams
We will overcome
We can show the world
What a bright land this can be
We will overcome
Let the freedom-fighters know
There's a place for you and me
We will overcome
But we can see
What a long time it will be
They say "let freedom ring"--can you hear it?
I think we'll know the sound when we're near it
So put your hand in mine
And we'll remember dreams.
We will overcome
We can show the world
What a bright land this can be
We will overcome
Let the freedom-fighters know
There's a place for you and me
We will overcome
But we can see
What a long time it will be
