Shannon Murray Solidarity Forever Lyrics

When the union's inspiration through the workers blood
shall runThere 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
