Glory (from The Motion Picture Lyrics - Singles - Common & John Legend

One day, when the glory comes 

It will be ours, it will be ours 

Oh, one day, when the war is one 

We will be sure, we will be here sure 

Oh, glory, glory 

Oh, glory, glory 

Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon 

Formed against, yes glory is destined 

Every day women and men become legends 

Sins that go against our skin become blessings 

The movement is a rhythm to us 

Freedom is like religion to us 

Justice is juxtaposition in us 

Justice for all just ain't specific enough 

One son died, his spirit is revisitin' us 

Truant livin' livin' in us, resistance is us 

That's why Rosa sat on the bus 

That's why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up 

When it go down we woman and man up 

They say, "Stay down" and we stand up 

Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up 

King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up 

Now the war is not over 

Victory isn't won 

And we'll fight on to the finish 

Then when it's all done 

We'll cry glory, oh glory 

We'll cry glory, oh glory 

Selma's now for every man, woman and child 

Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd 

They marched with the torch, we gon' run with it now 

Never look back, we done gone hundreds of miles 

From dark roads he rose, to become a hero 

Facin' the league of justice, his power was the people 

Enemy is lethal, a king became regal 

Saw the face of Jim Crow under a bald eagle 

The biggest weapon is to stay peaceful 

We sing, our music is the cuts that we bleed through 

Somewhere in the dream we had an epiphany 

Now we right the wrongs in history 

No one can win the war individually 

It takes the wisdom of the elders and young people's energy 

Welcome to the story we call victory 

Comin' of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory
