Roger Waters - We Shall Overcome
"Over the new year 2009-2010, an international group of 1500 men and
women from 42 nations went to Egypt to join a Freedom March to Gaza.
They did this to protest the current blockade of Gaza. To protest the
fact that the people of Gaza live in a virtual prison. To protest the
fact that a year after the terror attack by Israeli armed forces
destroyed most of their homes, hospitals, schools, and other public
buildings, they have no possibility to rebuild because their borders are
closed. The would be Freedom Marchers wanted to peacefully draw
attention to the predicament of the Palestinian population of Gaza. The
Egyptian government, (funded to the tune of $2.1 billion a year, by us,
the US tax payers), would not allow the marchers to approach Gaza. How
lame is that? And how predictable! I live in the USA and during this
time Dec 25th 2009-Jan3rd 2010 I saw no reference to Gaza or the Freedom
March or the multi national protesters gathered there. Anyway I was
moved, in the circumstances, to record a new version of " We shall
overcome". It seems appropriate."
Roger Waters
Lyrics
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
That we shall overcome
Some day
And we'll walk hand in hand
we'll walk hand in hand
we'll walk hand in hand one day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
That we'll walk hand in hand
One day
And we'll break down the prison walls
We will tear down those prison walls
Together we will tear down the prison walls on that day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
That we will tear down all those prison walls
On that day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
That we will tear down those prison walls
On that day
And the truth will set us free
The truth will set us free
The truth will set us all free
On that day
And deep in my heart
I do believe
That the truth will set us all free
And we shall overcome
On that day
Roger Waters
Lyrics
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
That we shall overcome
Some day
And we'll walk hand in hand
we'll walk hand in hand
we'll walk hand in hand one day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
That we'll walk hand in hand
One day
And we'll break down the prison walls
We will tear down those prison walls
Together we will tear down the prison walls on that day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
That we will tear down all those prison walls
On that day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
That we will tear down those prison walls
On that day
And the truth will set us free
The truth will set us free
The truth will set us all free
On that day
And deep in my heart
I do believe
That the truth will set us all free
And we shall overcome
On that day
