One day, when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
Oh, one day, when the war is one

We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, 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 juxtaposition in 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, one day, when the war is one

We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory
Oh, glory, glory 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's 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

Oh, one day, when the war is one
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Oh, glory, glory

Oh, glory, glory glory

When the war is done, when it's all said and done

We'll cry glory, oh glory
