One day
when the glory comes
it will be ours
it will be ours
Oh oh oh one day
when the war is won
we will be sure
we will be sure
Oh oh oh glory
Oh oooh
Hands to the Heavens
no man, no weapon
formed against
yes glory is destined
Every day woman and man
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
Oh oh oh one day
when the war is won
we will be sure
we will be sure
Oh oh oh glory
Oh oooh
Now the war is not over
victory isn't won
and we'll fight on
to the finish
And then when
it's all done
we'll cry glory
oh glory
Oh ooh oooh
We'll cry glory
oh glory
oh oh ooh
Hooo
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
the comin' of the Lord
my eyes have seen
the glory
One day
when the glory comes
it will be ours
it will be ours
Oh oh oh one day
when the war is won
we will be sure
we will be sure
Oh oh oh glory
Oh oooh
Oh ooh glory
Hey, hey, yeah
yeah, yeah
when the war is done
When it's all
said and done
we'll cry glory
Ooh glory
