John Legend - Glory Lyrics
[Chorus: John Legend]One day when the glory comesIt will be ours, it will be oursOne day when the war is wonWe will be sure, we will be sureOh glory[Verse 1: Common]Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weaponFormed against, yes glory is destinedEvery day women and men become legendsSins that go against our skin become blessingsThe movement is a rhythm to usFreedom is like religion to usJustice is juxtapositionin' usJustice for all just ain't specific enoughOne son died, his spirit is revisitin' usTruant livin' livin' in us, resistance is usThat's why Rosa sat on the busThat's why we walk through Ferguson with our hands upWhen it go down we woman and man upThey say, “Stay down”, and we stand upShots, we on the grown, the camera panned upKing pointed to the mountain top and we ran up[Chorus: John Legend]One day when the glory comesIt will be ours, it will be oursOne day when the war is wonWe will be sure, we will be sureOh glory[Bridge: John Legend]Now the war is not over, victory isn't wonAnd we'll fight on to the finish, then when it's all doneWe'll cry glory, oh gloryWe'll cry glory, oh glory[Verse 2: Common]Selma's now for every man, woman and childEven Jesus got his crown in front of a crowdThey marched with the torch, we gon' run with it nowNever look back, we done gone hundreds of milesFrom dark roads he rose, to become a heroFacin' the league of justice, his power was the peopleEnemy is lethal, a king became regalSaw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagleThe biggest weapon is to stay peacefulWe sing, our music is the cuts that we bleed throughSomewhere in the dream we had an epiphanyNow we right the wrongs in historyNo one can win the war individuallyIt takes the wisdom of the elders and young people's energyWelcome to the story we call victoryComin' of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory[Chorus: John Legend]One day when the glory comesIt will be ours, it will be oursOne day when the war is wonWe will be sure, we will be sureOh glory[Outro: John Legend]When the war is done, when it's all said and doneWe'll cry glory, oh glory
