Oh children, don't you weep, don't you moan
Oh children, don't you weep, don't you moan
We shall overcome some day
Oh children, don't you weep

The wise man built his house upon the rock
The foolish man built his house upon the sand

But we shall overcome some day
Oh children, don't you weep

Oh children, don't you weep, don't you moan

We shall overcome some day
Oh children, don't you weep

You run to the rock to hide yourself
The rock lookin' hidin' place for itself

We shall overcome some day
Oh children, don't you weep
