Song for Japan: We Shall Overcome

As Japan faces its dismal aftermath of the horrific devastation in the northern part of Honshu, one song comes to mind for all the Japanese as they face a multiple of crises caused by earthquakes, tsunami, the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, and now radiation leak.

For all the Japanese victims, survivors and citizens, here's the powerful lyrics of the song that can lift your spirit: "We Shall Overcome"

"We Shall Overcome" - adaption from Charles Tindley's gospel song "I'll Overcome Some Day" (1900).

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)

We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
