Remember when, we used to hold hands,
it wasn’t that long ago,
we’d walk the street and I’d walk by your side
that is how it’s always been.
Seems like yesterday, we would embrace each other,
oh how times have changed,
we’d come together and celebrate,
that is how it used to be
We shall rise up once again,
we shall vanquish this pain,
though things may never be just quite the same.
We shall hold hands once again,
we shall meet and still be friends,
all together we will overcome again.
We’ve felt the pain and seen the misery,
(We asked) how long will this last,
we share the loss in our humanity,
Yet this too shall pass
We shall rise up once again,
we shall vanquish this pain,
though things may never be just quite the same.
We shall hold hands once again,
we shall meet and still be friends,
all together we will overcome again.
(Musical Interlude)
(Repeat CHORUS 2x) - (UP 1 TONE TO KEY OF A)
All together we will overcome... again...
