作词：Max Herre/S. Neblett/W. Muhammad Jaco/Joy Denalane

作曲：Ben Krass/Curtis Mayfield

There's so many things to say right now

I got so much on my mind

Look at what is going down

How much higher can we climb

The system that we're living in depends on poverty and greed

But people don't need charity it's justice that we need

There's disrepair

Hey it's surrounding you and it's worse than it's ever been

We'll overcome

We'll overcome the things they do

Yeah

We're halfway there halfway there

Cause we know the truth but living is another thing

We'll overcome

Overcome the things they do

Lift your voice and sing

A change is coming our way

Coming our way

Step by step and day by day

And we'll live we'll live by all that we say

Step by step now come what may

There's war all around the world

In the name of democracy

Can't tell the rouge from the just

When they bring hypocrisy

I see my sisters on the move making sure we all contend

Must've lost something on the way we reduced ourselves again

Yeah

There's disrepair

Hey it's surrounding you and it's worse than it's ever been

We'll overcome

We'll overcome the things they do

Yeah

We're halfway there halfway there

And we know the truth but living is another thing

We'll overcome

Overcome the things they do

Lift your voice and sing sing sing

There's coming our way

Step by step and day by day

And we'll live we'll live by all that we say

Step by step now come what may

Before we go forth we gotta take 'em back back

So we can know what we did

Cause if we never know what happened in the past

Then we can never know that's what it is

If we don't do it for us

We gotta do it for our kids kids

So they don't gotta re-live

See there's so much happening it ain't gonna get fix

With singing and rapping and we gotta take action

And turn that preach into practicing

Cause what happen back then will be right back again

But each one teach one cause we only as fast

As the last one straggling so help 'em out

Step by step day by day

Said it won't be long it won't be long

Step by step come what may I feel it coming on strong

Step by step day by day

We gonna overcome

Step by step come what may

As long as we are one

A change is coming our way

Oh step by step and day by day

We'll live by all that we say

Step by step now come what may

A change is coming our way is coming our way

Step by step and day by day

We'll live by all that we say

Step by step now come what may
