Solidarity Forever-Utah Phillips

[00:25.600]When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run, [00:30.600]There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; [00:34.600]Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, [00:39.600]But the union makes us strong. [00:44.600]Solidarity forever, [00:50.600]Solidarity forever, [00:55.600]Solidarity forever, [00:58.600]For the union makes us strong. [01:03.600]Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite, [01:08.600]Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might? [01:12.600]Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight? [01:16.600]For the union makes us strong. [01:21.600]Solidarity forever, [01:27.600]Solidarity forever, [01:31.600]Solidarity forever, [01:35.600]For the union makes us strong. [01:40.600]It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade; [01:44.600]Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid; [01:49.600]Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made; [01:53.600]But the union makes us strong. [01:58.600]Solidarity forever, [02:02.600]Solidarity forever, [02:07.600]Solidarity forever, [02:12.600]For the union makes us strong. [02:16.600]All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone. [02:21.600]We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone. [02:25.600]It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own. [02:30.600]While the union makes us strong. [02:34.600]Solidarity forever, [02:39.600]Solidarity forever, [02:43.600]Solidarity forever, [02:47.600]For the union makes us strong. [02:53.600]They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn, [02:57.600]But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn. [03:02.600]We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn [03:06.600]That the union makes us strong. [03:11.600]Solidarity forever, [03:15.600]Solidarity forever, [03:19.600]Solidarity forever, [03:23.600]For the union makes us strong. [03:28.600]In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold, [03:33.600]Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold. [03:38.600]We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old [03:41.600]For the union makes us strong. [03:46.600]Solidarity forever, [03:51.600]Solidarity forever, [03:55.600]Solidarity forever, [03:59.600]For the union makes us strong.
