Mavis Staples
We Shall Not Be Moved
[Chorus]
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
We shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Like a tree that's planted by the water
We shall not be moved

[Verse 1]
The union is behind us
We shall not be moved
The union is behind us
We shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
We shall not be moved

[Verse 2]
We're fighting for our freedom
We shall not be moved
Fighting for our freedom
We shall not be moved
We're fighting for our freedom
We shall not be moved
Like a tree that's planted by the water
We shall not be moved
[Verse 3]
Fighting for our children
We shall not be moved
We're fighting for our children
We shall not be moved
Like a tree that's planted by the water
We shall not be moved

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Black and white together
We shall not be moved
Black and white together
We shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the wa—, water
We shall not be, oh-ho-ho

[Chorus]
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We, we shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
We shall not be moved
Well now, we, we shall not, we shall not be moved
Oh, we, shall not, we shall not be
Just like a tree that's planted by the water
We shall not be moved
[Outro]
Oh, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's planted by the wa—, water
We shall not be moved
