“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.”
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".
