We Shall Overcome - Peter Yarrow 

We tried so hard in the 60s to have everybody come together in peace and harmony and I have not loss my hope that we might all live in peace and harmony yet

I grew up in the 60’s and now, in my 70’s, I am sad that we fell so short of our dreams

Oh my goodness! I didn't make it through the first 4 measures before the tears were running down my old face. That was incredibly beautiful. I used to listen to this in my car all the time many years ago! I had never seen the video until now. What a special SPECIAL moment. I am thankful for all of those people in that video and for the archive that RU-vid has become. Thank you!

So beautiful! Peter Yarrow"s voice could make statues cry! I could listen to this forever and never get tired!

What a beautiful, timeless and necessary song for today..lets sing it coast to coast and inbetween ! !

This is such a powerful song. It is needed more than ever today - this week - this year!

"....deep in my heart, I do believe, we shall overcome some day..." Now *is* the time. Today *is* the day. Many blessings, in peace and love.

Thank you Peter. That is all we need. I miss this kind of music and understanding of the life.

love that it's kids learning this message.

Remembering Peter Paul and Mary songs. Brings back great memories and the 60s were good for us.

Wie wichtig währen diese Künstler mit Ihren Songs heute!!!

when i hear this song its kindof a let down when you consider just how low humanity has sunk... if peter and mary were still around they would probably be heartbroken

And now, a special song. This is almost a prayerful song. We've sung it on marches, we've sung it with Dr. Martin Luther King. And now it's time for you to learn it.

Absolutely beautiful Peter. Thank you.

09.04.2020 I'm from Bangladesh. COVID-19 has started to spread its dreary affect in my country too. I hope for the world to be better place soon. I want all our miseries to end. Let there be light.

We shall be...Thank you ,for this, we shall live in peace some day, I do believe !

I'm a Freedom Fighter. I fight only for Freedom... 🙏

More than 50 years after PP&M first performed this, and a multitude of others, too, the heart is still yearning ...

this song makes me cry.

Thank You for posting this wonderful version of We Shall Overcome. We will someday by speaking out peacefully as Dr. King, Gandhi and many others have, especially Jesus. The Golden Rule has always been The Golden Path to God and Heaven. It is about love and watching for what can come out of our heart as Jesus taught. We only need to ask His help.

Deep in my heart, I still believe, we shall overcome some day.

i am back a year later! im not going to overcome this time...but what a great journey it has been. Love is the answer my fellow earthlings!

How else can you pass this down, but live and old to young, face to face, voice to voice?

This song makes me cry, 'coz i remember my family.love and miss them.always..

After so many years,It's still so important.keeps my eyes in teams,Monika

Sung with such tremendous feeling

I LOVE this song! It helps me go to sleep at night. It helps me when I’m in pain. I LOVE the A cappella part!

With love trust respect of one another we will be free in this world !

I wish I could sing this song in Holy Mass.,

I mourn for this world.How ever I do believe with everything in me that we will overcome!!!! We just need to figure out HOW!

Peter sings this with such feeling, it's so important that we never forget. God bless

Someone just sliced too many onions around me here...

''Songs have never changed governments, I should know I lived in the 60s''....Bob Dylan.. It's our individual choice of a hearts change that peace comes...

Namaste 🙏 beautiful rendition of a beautiful song,stay safe everyone

We will overcome. We will overcome, we will overcome today. Deep in my heart I will not yield. We will overcome today. I put it the affirmative. This song still needs to be sung.

We shall overcome some day Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome some day We shall all be free, we shall all be free, We shall all be free some day Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome some day We shall live in peace, we shall live in peace, We shall live in peace some day Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe we shall overcome some day

Linda fantástica sensacional obra prima pura emoção......

The only verse missing is the verse the Freedom Riders sang in Montgomery, Alabama: I am not afraid I am not afraid I am not afraid, today Deep in my heart, I do believe We shall overcome someday.

Still so timely

You can't pull them up to our level. They will pull us down to theirs.
