This song perfectly represents Tom’s trial and his fight for the truth to overcome racism and lead to his freedom. As the song states gleefully, he dare’s to believe he can survive although he knows how little his chances of surviving are. He is trying to just leave the past ideas of white>black behind and let courts be decided by the facts and evidence (or lack thereof). Atticus also plays a large part in this fight for freedom, being Tom’s defense attorney and representing him fairly, something not many white men would do for a colored man at the time.
