Solidarity Forever
Solidarity forever, solidarity forever, solidarity forever, for the union makes In Memory of us strong When the union's inspiration thru the workers' blood shall run There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun Michael Harrington Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one For the union makes us strong 1928-1989 Solidarity forever....
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, outcasts and starving, mid the wonders we have made But the union makes us strong
Solidarity forever....
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....
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold Greter than the might of atoms, magnified a thousand-fold We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old For the union makes us strong Solidarity forever....
