detroit youth choir - glory lyrics

[chorus]
one day, when the glory comes
it’ll be ours, it’ll be ours
oh, one day, when the war is won
we’ll be sure, we’ll be sure
oh, glory (glory)
hmm, glory (glory)
oh (glory)
oh, glory (glory)

[verse 1]
if you’re black and you’re proud, hands up
if you wanna make a change, all my leaders, stand up
look, i’m tired of seeing my people on the news
texting my friends, hoping they’re okay too
and yeah, we get that all lives matter
but i ain’t get to choose the color of my skin
so, how does that matter?
your job is to serve and protеct me
so, where’s thе protection?
not only done dying for racism and covid infections
can’t get snacks like trayvon
get some sleep like breonna
the more they k!ll us off, we’re losing our mothers and fathers
listen, when will enough be enough?
i shouldn’t be afraid that i’m next to go to in handcuffs
look, it’s time to team up and stop the cruelty
my board is up, and i’m see ’em walkin’ towards me
walkin’, yelling “no justice, no peace”
kneeling until my people reach equality
[chorus]
one day, when the glory comes
it’ll be ours, it’ll be ours
oh, one day, when the war is won
we’ll be sure, we’ll be sure
(glory) glory
(glory) glory
(glory) glory
(glory) glory

[verse 2]
now, the war is not over
victory isn’t won
we’ll fight on to the finish
then, when it’s all done
we’ll cry glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
we’ll cry glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
oh (glory)
oh, woah (glory)

[bridge]
something must be done as soon as possible
and if we come together, we’re unstoppable
if you’re red, white, yellow, green or blue
this isn’t just our fight, nah, it’s yours too
more than being enslaved like my ancestors
it’s time that we expose the country’s transgressions
we’re the future, not the past
it’s time to steal the present
unity is what we’re wishing for as a present
we’re doing zoom calls, protests, rallies, and more
the bigger we are in numbers, yeah, we can even the score
the year is twenty+twenty, let us make them clear
‘tis the last generation they mess with, with fear
and when we get old, the stories will be on repeat
fighting for our rights in masks and tryna keep six feet
with my hand and yours, we’ll get our justice and peace
fists up, it’s time to get together on our own streets
[chorus]
one day, when the glory comes
it’ll be ours, it’ll be ours
ooh, one day, when the war is won
we’ll be sure, we’ll be sure
glory
oh (glory)
glory (glory)
yeah, yeah, yeah (glory)
see the war, it isn’t won (glory)
fight on, fight on (glory)
we will cry glory (glory)
hmm, glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
yeah (glory)
we’ll cry glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
say glory (glory)
oh, glory (glory)
glory

[outro]
we need to stand together so we can be one
