Glory

One day, when the glory comes

It will be ours, it will be ours

Oh, one day, when the war is won

We will be sure, we will be sure

Oh, glory, glory, glory

Oh, glory, glory

Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon

Formed against, yes glory destined

Every day woman and man becomes legends

Sins that go against our skin become blessing

The movement is a rhythm to us

Freedom is like regilion to us

Justice is juxtapositions in us

Justice for all just ain't specific enough

One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us

Truant livin' livin' in us, resistance is us

That's why Rosa sat on the bus

That's why we walk throught Ferguson

with our hands up

When it go down we woman and man up

They say, "Stand down" and we stand up

Shots, we on the ground

the camera panned up

King pointed to the

mountain top and we ran up

One day, when the glory comes

It will be ours, it will be our

Oh, glory, glory, glory

Oh, glory, glory

Now the war is not over

Victory isn't won

And we'll fight on to the finish

Then when it's all done

We'll cry glory, oh glory

ooh glory, glory

Selma's now for every man, woman and child

Even Jesus got his crown in frontof a crowd

They marched with the torch

we gon' run with in now

Never look back, we done

gone hundreds of miles

From darks roads he rose, to become a hero

Facin' the league of justice

his power was the people

Enemy is lethal, a king became regals

Saw the face of Jim Crow

under a bald eagle.

No one can win the war individually

It takes the wisdom of the elders

and young people's energy

Welcome to the story we call Victory

Comin' of the Lord,

My eyes have seen the glory

One day, when the glory comes

It will be ours, it will be ours

Oh glory, glory, glory

Oh, glory, glory
