One day, when the glory comes

It will be ours, it will be ours
Am F
Oh, one day, when the war is one
C G
We will be sure, we will be here sure

Oh, glory, glory
C G
Oh, glory, glory
[Verse 1]
Am
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
F
Formed against, yes glory is destined
C
Every day women and men become legends
G
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
Am
The movement is a rhythm to us
F
Freedom is like religion to us
C
Justice is juxtaposition in us
G
Justice for all just ain’t specific enough
Am
One son died, his spirit is revisitin’ us
F
Truant livin’ livin’ in us, resistance is us
C
That’s why Rosa sat on the bus
G
That’s why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up
Am
When it go down we woman and man up
F
They say, “Stay down” and we stand up
C
Shots, we on the ground, 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 G
It will be ours, it will be ours
Am F
Oh, one day, when the war is one
C G
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Am F
Oh, glory, glory
C G
Oh, glory, glory glory
[Bridge]
F
Now the war is not over
Am
Victory isn’t won
C
And we’ll fight on to the finish
G
Then when it’s all done
Am F
We’ll cry glory, oh glory
C G
We’ll cry glory, oh glory
[Verse 2]
Am
Selma’s now for every man, woman and child
F
Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd
C
They marched with the torch, we gon’ run with it now
G
Never look back, we done gone hundreds of miles
Am
From dark roads he rose, to become a hero
F
Facin’ the league of justice, his power was the people
C
Enemy is lethal, a king became regal
G
Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle
Am
No one can win the war individually
F
It takes the wisdom of the elders and young people’s energy
C
Welcome to the story we call victory
G
Comin’ of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory
[Chorus]
Am F
One day, when the glory comes
C G
It will be ours, it will be ours
Am F
Oh, one day, when the war is one
C G
We will be sure, we will be here sure
Am F
Oh, glory, glory
C G
Oh, glory, glory glory
