One day when the glory comesIt will be ours, it will be oursOne day when the war is wonWe will be sure, we will be sureOh gloryHands to the heavens, no man, no weaponFormed against, yes glory is destinedEvery day women and men become legendsSins that go against our skin become blessingsThe movement is a rhythm to usFreedom is like religion to usJustice is juxtapositionin' usJustice for all just ain't specific enoughOne son died, his spirit is revisitin' usTruant livin' livin' in us, resistance is usThat's why Rosa sat on the busThat's why we walk through Ferguson with our hands upWhen it go down we woman and man upThey say, stay down and we stand upShots, we on the grown, the camera panned upKing pointed to the mountain top and we ran upOne day when the glory comesIt will be ours, it will be oursOh gloryNow the war is not over, victory isn't wonAnd we'll fight on to the finish, and when it's all doneWe'll cry glory, oh gloryWe'll cry glory, oh glorySelma's now for every man, woman and childEven Jesus got his crown in front of a crowdThey marched with the torch, we gon' run with it nowNever look back, we done gone hundreds of milesFrom dark roads he rose, to become a heroFacin' the league of justice, his power was the peopleEnemy is lethal, a king became regalSaw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagleNo one can win the war individuallyIt takes the wisdom of the eldersAnd young people's energyWelcome to the story we call victoryThe comin' of my Lord, my eyes have seen the gloryOne day when the glory comesIt will be ours, it will be oursOh glory
