[Chorus: John Legend]
3
One day when the glory comes
4
It will be ours, it will be ours
5
One day when the war is won
6
We will be sure, we will be sure
7
Oh glory
8
(Glory, glory) Ohh (Glory, glory)
9
[Verse 1: Common]
10
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
11
Formed against, yes glory is destined
12
Every day women and men become legends
13
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
14
The movement is a rhythm to us
15
Freedom is like religion to us
16
Justice is juxtapositionin' us
17
Justice for all just ain't specific enough
18
One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us
19
True and livin' livin' in us, resistance is us
20
That's why Rosa sat on the bus
21
That's why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up
22
When it go down we woman and man up
23
They say, "Stay down", and we stand up
24
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up
25
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up
26
[Chorus]
27
[Bridge: John Legend]
28
Now the war is not over, victory isn't won
29
But we'll fight on to the finish, and when it's all done
30
We'll cry glory (glory), oh glory (glory), ohhh (glory, glory)
31
We'll cry glory, oh glory, ohhh (glory, glory)
32
[Verse 2: Common]
33
Selma is now for every man, woman and child
34
Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd
35
They marched with the torch, we gon' run with it now
36
Never look back, we done gone hundreds of miles
37
From dark roads he rose, to become a hero
38
Facin' the league of justice, his power was the people
39
Enemy is lethal, a king became regal
40
Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle
41
The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful
42
We sing, our music is the cuts that we bleed through
43
Somewhere in the dream we had an epiphany
44
Now we right the wrongs in history
45
No one can win the war individually
46
It takes the wisdom of the elders and young people's energy
47
Welcome to the story we call victory
48
The comin' of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory
49
[Chorus]
50
[Outro: John Legend]
51
When the war is won, when it's all said and done
52
We'll cry glory, oh glory
Common, John Legend - Glory
