There is power in a democracy, power in the land
|
Power in the hands of a worker
|
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
|
There is a power in a Union
|
|
Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood
|
The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
|
From the cities to the farmlands in the trenches full of mud
|
Cuz war has always been the bosses' way sir
|
|
The Union forever defending our rights
|
Let's fight the Right Wing, all workers unite
|
With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands
|
There is power in a Union
|
|
Now I long for the time that they realize
|
Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us
|
But who'll defend the workers who cannot organize
|
When the GOP send their attorneys out to cheat us?
|
|
Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own
|
Who'll come speak for the skin and the bone?
|
What a comfort to widow, a light for the child
|
There is power in a Union
|
|
The Union forever defending our rights
|
Let's fight the Right Wing, all workers unite
|
With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands
|
There is power in a Union
|
|
With social justice and equality
|
For every man and woman who wants it
|
There is power in a Union
|
