United we stand - divided we fall
The strength of a union - will guide us all
There’s some say the meek - will inherit the land
But the meek shall be weak until they understand.
Chorus:
If they come for you in the morning
And they’re knocking on your door
Then they will come for me in the evening
Of that you can be sure {2X}
I believe in the union - it’s easy to see
I believe in this simple philosophy
If we don’t stand together - we stand all alone
Then they’ll come and pick you off one by one
Chorus:
Don’t look down as you’re walking around
Hold your head up high and reach for the sky
Shout out about all of the bad things you see
It’s the price you pay for freedom & liberty
Chorus:
Joe Hill lay there in his prison cell
His last words on Earth I remember them well
He didn’t pray to some God upon high
He said, “Don’t weep for me - but organize!”
