Solidarity Forever Songtext
von Barbara Dane

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?
When in union we are strong
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For in union we are strong
It is we who dug the prairies
Built the cities where they trade
Dug the mines, built the factories
Endless miles of railroad laid
Now we stand outcast and starving
Mid the wonders we have made
But in union we are strong
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever


Solidarity forever
For in union we are strong
There is no power greater
Than their hoarded gold
Greater than the might of atoms
Magnified a thousandfold
We can bring to birth a new world
From the ashes of the old
But in union we are strong
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For in union we are strong
They have taken untold millions
That they never toiled to earn
But without our brains and muscle
Not a single wheel can turn
We can break their haughty power
Gain our freedom when we learn
That in union we are strong
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For in union we are strong
