Shannon Murray - Solidarity Forever lyrics

When the union's inspiration through the workers blood shall run There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun Yet what force on Earth is weaker than the feeble force of one but The union makes us strong Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever For the union makes us strong Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? For… The union makes us strong Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever For the union makes us strong It is we who plowed the prairies, build the cities where they trade Dug the mines and build the workshops, endless miles of RR laid Now we stand outcast and starving 'mid the wonders we have made but The union makes us strong Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever For the union makes us strong They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn that The union makes us strong Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever For the union makes us strong In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousand-fold We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old for But the union makes us strong Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever, Solidarity Forever For the union makes us strong
