Where can I find the song "We can't be moved?" It was a civil rights movement song sung by children.

Question

This was originally a spiritual which I think was written for a choir of children. Please help me, I would love to have my choir sing it.

Answer 1

Are you sure it was not "We Shall Not Be Moved" or "I Shall Not Be Moved"? This was an old spiritual, covered by Elvis Presley and Dan Zanes (a children's singer), that went like this:

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED

(Oh) We shall not be moved.
(I said) We shall not be moved,
Just like a tree standing by the waterside,
Oh we shall not be moved.

Well I said we,
(We shall not be moved)
Shall not be moved,
(We shall not be moved)
Well I said we shall not be moved,
(We shall not be moved)
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside,
Oh we shall not be moved.

Now I said we,
(We shall not be moved)
Shall not be moved,
(We shall not be moved)
Oh I said we,
(We shall not be moved)
Shall not be moved,
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside,
Oh we shall not be moved.

Well I said we,
(We shall not be moved)
Shall not be moved,
(We shall not be moved)
Oh I said we,
(We shall not be moved)
Shall not be moved,
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside,
Oh we shall not be moved.

Just a little bit quieter now,
We shall not be moved,
We shall not be moved,
We shall not be moved,
We shall not be moved,
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside,
We shall not be moved.

One more time for the people now,
We shall not be moved (higher)
We shall not be moved (higher)
We shall not be moved (higher)
We shall not be moved (higher)
Just like a tree that's standing by the waterside,
Oh we shall not be moved.
Goodnight.



That's the lyric...I don't know where you could find sheet music.

Answer 2

I think you mean this

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED

CHORUS
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Just like a tree that's standing by the water
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
The union is behind us,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We're fighting for our freedom,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We're fighting for our children,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
We'll building a mighty union,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Black and white together,
We shall not be moved

We shall not, we shall not be moved
We shall not, we shall not be moved
Young and old together,
We shall not be moved
