Am F
One day when the glory comes

[Verse 1]
Am Am G
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
G
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

Oh glory(glory) (glory) (glory) (glory)

We'll cry glory, oh glory oh (glory) (glory)
[Verse 2]
Am Am G
Selma's now for every man, woman and child
F
Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd
C/E F
They marched with the torch, we gon' run with it now
G
Never look back, we done gone hundreds of miles

From dark roads he rose, to become a hero
F
Facin' the league of justice, his power was the people
C/E F
Enemy is lethal, a king became regal
G
Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle
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
[Chorus]
Am F
One day when the glory comes
C/E F G
It will be ours, it will be ours
