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
glory glory ohh glory glory
common
hands to the heavens no man no weapon
formed against yes glory is destined
every day 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 glory glory
ohh glory glory

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 glory oh glory glory oh glory glory
we’ll cry glory oh glory oh glory glory
common
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
glory glory
oh glory glory
oh glory
glory glory
yeah glory glory
john legend
when the war is won when it’s all said and done
we’ll cry glory oh glory glory glory
