we shall overcome

People come together now as one,
Every race and colour,
We're under one sun.
Shelter turn your back against the wind,
Things'll change you'll turn the page,
It's time to begin...
Watching people smiling in the rain,
We're thankful for the gift of life, today.
Another year is coming to an end,
Together we will make it through,
Just turn to a friend.
Although despair linger's,
Dry your tears. Just keep on...

[Chorus]:
We shall overcome,
Tear it down, dry your eyes,
Build it up and start again.
Thy, will be done,
Tear it down, Dry your eyes,
Build it up and start again.

[Verse 2]:
Hope returns and drives away the fear.
People laughing, having fun, this time of year.
The fire burns for those who still believe.
That open arms, a warm embrace, is all that we need.

[Chorus]:
We shall overcome,
Tear it down, dry your eyes,
Build it up and start again.
Thy, will be done,
Tear it down, Dry your eyes,
Build it up and start again.

[Verse 3]:
End of the year, although some,
Shed a tear, we'll come away.
We'll come away with new hope for next year.
Don't be afraid, dry your eyes,
Turn your hearts around.
Sing with me now,
Spread the joy, feel it all around.
End of the year, so we sing in good cheer.
This holiday
And come away with new hope for next year
