[John Legend, Common - Glory lyrics]
One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure oh glory
Ohh
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Everyday women and men become legends
Sins that go against our
Skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us
Justice is juxtapositionin' us
Justice for all just ain't specific enough
One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us
True and livin' livin' in us
Resistance is us
That's why Rosa sat on the bus
That's why we walk through Ferguson
With our hands up
When it go down we woman and man up
They say, "Stay down", and we stand up
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up
King pointed to the mountain top
And we ran up
One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure oh glory
Ohh
Now the war is not over, victory isn't won
But we'll fight on to the finish
And when it's all done
We'll cry glory, oh glory, oh
We'll cry glory, oh glory, oh
Selma is now for every man, woman, and child
Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd
They marched with the torch
We gon' run with it now never look back
We done gone hundreds of miles
From dark roads he rose, to become a hero
Facin' the league of justice
His power was the people
Enemy is lethal, a king became regal
Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle
The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful
We sing
Our music is the cuts that we bleed through
Somewhere in the dream we had an epiphany
Now we right the wrongs in history
No one can win the war individually
It takes the wisdom of the
Elders and young people's energy
Welcome to the story we call victory
The comin' of the Lord
My eyes have seen the glory
One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure oh glory
Oh oh glory
Yeah
When the war is won
When it's all said and done
We'll cry glory, oh glory
It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure oh glory
Ohh
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Everyday women and men become legends
Sins that go against our
Skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us
Justice is juxtapositionin' us
Justice for all just ain't specific enough
One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us
True and livin' livin' in us

It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure oh glory
