SOLIDARITY FOREVER (Lyrics)

1) When the Union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
There can be no power greater 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!

2) They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel could turn.
We shall 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!

3) 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!

Chorus:
Solidarity forever,Solidarity forever,Solidarity forever,
For the Union makes us strong!
