Stewart, what you posted seems to be a conglomerate of what's in Pete's book as the two separate songs:

I'll Overcome Some Day (Tindley, 1903)

This world is one great battlefield with forces all arrayed;
If in my heart I do not yield, I'll overcome some day.
I'll overcome some day (someday) I'll overcome some day;
If in my heart I do not yield I'll overcome some day.

and

I'll Be All Right (trad. African American gospel hymn)

I'll be all right
I'll be all right
I'll be all right some day
Deep in my heart
I do believe
I'll be all right some day

I'll be like Him (3x, etc)

I'll overcome (3x, etc)


What do you think, Joe?
Joe thinks he's gotta teach Dani how to do Line Breaks
