Glory

One day when the glory comes
 It will be ours, it will be ours
 One day when the war is won
 We will be sure, we will be sure
 Oh glory
 Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
 Formed against, yes glory is destined
 Every day women and men become legends
 Sins that go against our skin become blessings
 The movement is a rhythm to us
 Freedom is like religion to us
 Justice is juxtapositionin' 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 through Ferguson with our hands up
 When it go down we woman and man up
 They say, "Stay 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 ours
 One day when the war is won
 We will be sure, we will be sure
 Oh 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
 We'll cry glory, oh glory
 Selma is now for every man, woman and child
 Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd
 They marched with the torch, we gon' run with it now
 Never look back, we done gone hundreds of miles
 From dark roads he rose, to become a hero
 Facin' the league of justice, his power was the people
 Enemy is lethal, a king became regal
 Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle
 The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful
 We sing, our music is the cuts that we bleed through
 Somewhere in the dream we had an epiphany
 Now we right the wrongs in history
 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
 One day when the war is won
 We will be sure, we will be sure
 Oh glory
 When the war is won, when it's all said and done
 We'll cry glory, oh glory
