Lyrics: Herbert Tulin.
Tune: “Call Me Back, Pal of Mine.”
We are fighting today for a far brighter day
When as toilers we gain all we earn.
We are looking to you just to help us see through;
Oh, will you do your turn?
Hear the call, slaves of toil, may our cause be your own;
Hear the call, help to free all your kind.
Let us stand then to win and to claim as our own
All we earn in the days to come.
Speed the day and the hour, feel the thrill of your pow’r,
Let us fight to the end of the way.
Let us help see it through in our Grand O.B.U.
Hear the call of your kind, all today.
There’s a way to be free when all Labor shall be
In our union to stand for their right.
Let us know that you hear, for your duty is clear;
Toilers, come show your might.
Hear the call, slaves of toil, may our cause be your own;
Hear the call, help to free all your kind.
Let us stand then to win and to claim as our own
All we earn in the days to come.
Speed the day and the hour, feel the thrill of your pow’r,
Let us fight to the end of the way.
Let us help see it through in our Grand O.B.U.
Hear the call of your kind, all today.
Hear the call, slaves of toil, may our cause be your own;
Hear the call, help to free all your kind.
Let us stand then to win and to claim as our own
All we earn in the days to come.
Speed the day and the hour, feel the thrill of your pow’r,
Let us fight to the end of the way.
Let us help see it through in our Grand O.B.U.
Hear the call of your kind, all today.
