We Shall Overcome

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhnPVP23rzo&feature=related

We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
CHORUS:

Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day

We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day
CHORUS

We shall all be free
We shall all be free
We shall all be free some day
CHORUS

We are not afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid some day
CHORUS

We are not alone
We are not alone
We are not alone some day
CHORUS

The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around some day
CHORUS

We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day

1. Overcoming means never having to sit on one's ass

Edited on Sun Aug-16-09 08:49 PM by FrenchieCat

and thinking that others are doing the work that is needed to be done!

Because with "overcoming" comes real work.....not just a song!

3. Have I Offended You Frenchie?

I just posted this because the tone here is getting so bad here at DU that I thought maybe this would help bring some peace. That's the only reason I put it here. Sorry if it didn't work.

6. No offense, I'm just telling some truth.....

Part of the problem is that many folks aren't doing anything that they could do.....
instead they blame others and continue doing nothing.

I was just stating that the song you posted was accompanied with action...
like marches and shit....and that is how something actually got done,
but Front line soldiers actually doing what was required.

That's all.

7. "We think Co-Ops suck ...... We think Co-Ops suck......."

best part of that song is the requirment to add new verses as the need arrives. ;)

10. Exactly never, never give up this is battle to restore democracy and maintain it from earliest...

Edited on Mon Aug-17-09 06:07 AM by GivePeaceAchance

memory to casket. Which at present is more about the powers that encompass DC than DC itself right now. If managed to hold back the GOP we sure can place corporate power back under restraint, the way it looks to me, there's no other choice really.
