We who believe
We who will not rest
We shall not rest until freedom comes

My struggles, it is realized
Was a payment for the future
We who believe will not rest

What hurts me most?
We were stolen here to the hatred
We who believe will not rest

We will teach our young
We will give them what we do not have
We who believe will not rest

We will not need to gasp
We will not struggle to grasp
We who believe will not rest

The death of blacks
Will be as the deaths of whites
We who believe will not rest

I am a woman, I will be heard
We are blacks who will be heard

We who believe
We who will not rest
We shall not rest until freedom comes
