My Father taught me how to sing.
He sang that dreams were everything,
Can't be bought and can't be sold,
More than silver,more than gold...
June Tabor: The Cloud Factory
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome,
We shall overcome, some day.
Oh, deep in my heart,
I do believe
We shall overcome, some day.
Protest song interpreted by Pete Seeger, Joan Baez and Bruce Springsteen amongst others. Famously sung by Joan Baez and a crowd of 300,000 people in August 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D. C. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
