[Interlude]
And the most important verse
Is the one they wrote down in Montgomery, Alabama
They said, "We are not afraid"
And the young people taught everybody else a lesson
All the older people that had learned how to compromise
And learned how to take it easy, and be polite, and get along
And leave things as they were
The young people taught us all a lesson

[Verse 4]
We are not afraid
We are not afraid
We are not afraid (Today!) today

[Refrain]
Oh, deep in my heart
I do believe (We shall overcome some day)
We shall overcome some day (The whole wide world around)

[Verse 5]
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around
The whole wide world around someday

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