Lyrics

Solidarity Forever

[Chorus]

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong

[Verse 1]

When the union's inspiration

Through the workers blood shall run

There can be no greater power

Anywhere beneath the sun

Yet what force on earth is weaker

Than the feeble strength of one?

But the union makes us strong

[Chorus]

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong

[Verse 2]

It is we who plowed the prairies

Built the cities where they trade

Dug the mines and built the workshops

Endless miles of railroad laid

Now we stand outcast and starving

Midst the wonders we have made

But the union makes us strong

[Chorus]

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong

[Verse 4]

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 the union makes us strong, hey

[Chorus]

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong

For the union makes us strong
