A027 Solidarity ForevercurrentmemoABABABBIf people are singing, play softer.Battle Hymn of the Republic/John Brown's Body with better lyrics. Most active union members know the first verse. Hard core knows them allBbcharts
1. When the movement’s inspiration through the peoples’ blood shall run,
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,
For together we are strong.
(Chorus) Solidarity forever (3x) For together we are strong.
2. The running of this country is for us and us alone.
Our foundation of democracy has been built stone by stone.
It is ours, not to fear, but to fight for and to own.
And together we are strong.
(Chorus) Solidarity forever (3x) For together we are strong.
3.They divide us by our color; they divide us by our tongue.
They divide us by our gender; they divide us young and old.
But they’ll tremble at our voices when they hear these verses sung.
For together we are strong.
(Chorus) Solidarity forever (3x) For together we are strong.less union-oriented version than Ralph Chaplin's traditional lyrics.
