Oh glory (glory)           (glory)      oh (glory)       (glory)
 
[Verse 1]

Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
F
Formed against, yes glory is destined
C/E                                  F
Every day women and men become legends

Sins that go against our skin become blessings
Am                         Am   G
The movement is a rhythm to us
    F
Freedom is like religion to us
  C/E                        F
Justice is juxtapositionin' us
   G
Justice for all just ain't specific enough
    Am                               Am   G
One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us
       F
Truant livin' livin' in us, resistance is us
       C/E
That's why Rosa sat on the bus
       F      G
That's why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up
Am                              Am   G
When it go down we woman and man up
     F
They say, “Stay down”, and we stand up
C/E                                        F
Shots, we on the grown, the camera panned up
     G
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up
 
[Chorus]
Am               F
One day when the glory comes
           C/E           F G
It will be ours, it will be ours
  Am                 F

Now the war is not over, victory isn't won
          Am                      G
And we'll fight on to the finish, then when it's all done

Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd
     C/E                                            F
They marched with the torch, we gon' run with it now

F
We sing, our music is the cuts that we bleed through
C/E                                   F
Somewhere in the dream we had an epiphany
G
Now we right the wrongs in history
 
Am                            Am   G
No one can win the war individually
             F
It takes the wisdom of the elders and young people's energy
C/E                             F
Welcome to the story we call victory
    G
the Comin' of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory
