“Onward, One Big Union” Karaoke (midi with lyrics).
Lyrics: Ralph Cheney.
Tune: “Onward, Christian Soldiers.”
Onward, One Big Union,
Joy and justice led,
With the Free Society
Shining out ahead!
Freedom, our one master,
Leads against the foe.
Gates of jails can never
’Gainst our will prevail;
We’ve the world’s one power,
And we cannot fail.
We’ve the world’s one power,
And we cannot fail.
Forward unto battle,
We, the workers, go;
Onward, One Big Union,
Joy and justice led,
With the Free Society
Shining out ahead!
War and wrong shall perish;
Poverty shall cease;
Hatred, wrath and slavery
Yield to joy and peace.
Hatred, wrath, and slavery
Yield to joy and peace.
