The Nightwatchman
Solidarity Forever
[Chorus]
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong
[Verse 1]
When the union's inspiration
Through the workers blood shall run
There can be no greater power
Anywhere beneath the sun
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
It is we who plowed the prairies
Built the cities where they trade
Dug the mines and built the workshops
Endless miles of railroad laid
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now we stand outcast and starving
Midst the wonders we have made
But the union makes us strong
[Chorus]
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong
[Verse 3]
They have taken untold millions
That they never toiled to earn
But without our brain and muscle
Not a single wheel can turn
[Pre-Chorus 3]
We can 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
[Verse 4]
In our hands is placed a power
Greater than their hoarded gold
Greater than the might of armies
Magnified a thousand-fold
[Pre-Chorus 4]
We can bring to birth a new world
From the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong, hey
[Chorus]
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong
For the union makes us strong
