This song was first posted here in May 2012 and received hundreds of views. That version somehow “disappeared” off YouTube, so this is another version.
From Roger Waters: “Over the new year 2009-2010, an international group of 1500 men and women from 42 nations went to Egypt to join a Freedom March to Gaza. They did this to protest the current blockade of Gaza. To protest the fact that the people of Gaza live in a virtual prison. To protest the fact that a year after the terror attack by Israeli armed forces destroyed most of their homes, hospitals, schools, and other public buildings, they have no possibility to rebuild because their borders are closed. The would be Freedom Marchers wanted to peacefully draw attention to the predicament of the Palestinian population of Gaza. The Egyptian government, (funded to the tune of $2.1 billion a year, by us, the US tax payers), would not allow the marchers to approach Gaza. How lame is that? And how predictable! I live in the USA and during this time Dec 25th 2009-Jan3rd 2010 I saw no reference to Gaza or the Freedom March or the multi national protesters gathered there. Anyway I was moved, in the circumstances, to record a new version of ” We shall overcome”. It seems appropriate.”
Lyrics
We shall overcome We shall overcome We shall overcome some day Deep in my heart I do believe That we shall overcome Some day And we’ll walk hand in hand we’ll walk hand in hand we’ll walk hand in hand one day Deep in my heart I do believe That we’ll walk hand in hand One day And we’ll break down the prison walls We will tear down those prison walls Together we will tear down the prison walls on that day Deep in my heart I do believe That we will tear down all those prison walls On that day Deep in my heart I do believe That we will tear down those prison walls On that day And the truth will set us free The truth will set us free The truth will set us all free On that day And deep in my heart I do believe That the truth will set us all free And we shall overcome On that day
