It will be ours, it will be ours
    Am                 F
Oh, one day, when the war is won
          C              Dm7      G

 F
Freedom is like religion to us
 C
Justice is juxtaposition in us
Dm7  G
  Justice for all just ain't specific enough
    Am
One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us
    F
Truant livin' livin' in us, resistance is us
       C
That's why Rosa sat on the bus
Dm7           G
That's why we walk through
Ferguson with our hands up

When it go down we woman and man up
     F
They say, "Stay down" and we stand up

Shots, we on the ground,
                 Dm7
the camera panned up
     G
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up

And we'll fight on to the finish

They marched with the torch,
                    Dm7

From dark roads he rose, to become a hero
  F
Facin' the league of justice,
his power was the people
C                                 Dm7
Enemy is lethal, a king became regal

No one can win the war individually

It takes the wisdom of the elders
and young people's energy
C                                 Dm7
Welcome to the story we call victory
G
Comin' of the Lord,
my eyes have seen the glory
