“We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some day…
The whole wide world around some day.”

—  Pete Seeger

Lyrics added to "We Shall Overcome" by Seeger in the late 1940s, whose musical arrangement and renditions helped popularize the song among civil-rights activists in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He also changed the primary lines from from "We Will Overcome" to "We Shall Overcome".
