When Will We Overcome? lyrics

We need a change now, o Lord, can you hear me? Generations have cried the same song The same sorrows poured out in melody We shall overcome When will we overcome? 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? 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
