Intro: Ted James All we do is stay focused Looking straight forward at the challenge and beyond We feel the one percent pulling us down We've gotta keep pulling each other up We can’t get stuck We've gotta keep moving forward We’ve got places to go, y'all Let’s get it Chorus: Damian Marley When the armageddon's dark and dread A lot of weak hearted weep and moan Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go And when the battle get sour and dread A lot of weak hearted wither and moan Only the strong will continue I know you have it in you I know you have it in you Verse One: Damian Marley Hey, the victory's found in truth Like innocence found in youth Self defeat is your own dispute And man, you put yourself in your own shoes Either you're winning or losing Don't you get it confused Play a star and you know your own movie Playing of the role you choose, so Stand up and fight if you know that you're right And know you will never fail Tipping the scale and the wind shall prevail And the boat shall forever sail Hey, there ain't no stopping or cruising Even when you're battered and bruised Outrun all the sprinters on Mount Olympus My God's tougher than Zeus Chorus: Damian Marley When the armageddon's dark and dread A lot of weak hearted weep and moan Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go And when the battle get sour and dread A lot of weak hearted wither and moan Only the strong will continue I know you have it in you I know you have it in you Verse Two: Ted James First came Friedrichs, then came Janus Koch Brothers want unions sunk like Atlantis It’s madness, they wanna take away fair share We don't care, we just prepare Make a fist and throw it straight up in the air Working people, we ain't going nowhere We're right here, fighting for a better day This movement won't die when we organize our way From cornered to growing to warding off attacks From mourners to showing solidarity won't crack We're the 99 percent and they can't compete with that When we fight and don't relent, together we can pack The halls of government and overcome their greed, in fact Together we can lead the charge to bring democracy back So no matter how hard, and no matter how long We will win if we are strong Chorus: Damian Marley When the armageddon's dark and dread A lot of weak hearted weep and moan Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go And when the battle get sour and dread A lot of weak hearted wither and moan Only the strong will continue I know you have it in you I know you have it in you Verse Three: Damian Marley No man live forever, but never say never Every good he want better, must be a go getter And always be clever in every endeavor Cause drastic time call for drastic measure Yuh birthright to pleasure From yuh navel string sever The land and the treasure, work for whatever Jah said don't be a beggar, the Alpha Omega Will bless every soul no matter which name you prefer The immortal stepper, believe in every skin no matter which color they are We never let we don't know here which kind of weather You're destined to rise like the Son of Rebecca Don't stop for a second Everyone reckon, it sure would be good to be there Whether Zion or Mecca When the gates are finally closed And the saints go marching in Chorus: Damian Marley When the armageddon's dark and dread A lot of weak hearted weep and moan Only the strong will continue Do you have it in you? Come, we've got a journey to go And when the battle get sour and dread A lot of weak hearted wither and moan Only the strong will continue I know you have it in you I know you have it in you Verse Four: Ted James When the union’s inspiration through the workers’ blood shall run There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun We ain't done, we're just getting started Labor resuregence taking flight, we've just departed Flying over greener pastures and waters uncharted To reclaiming the wealth that the rich have bogarted Our resolve aint stealth but they don't see us coming Their arrogance and greed can be quite a shortcoming So we're building up this movement greater than their hoarded gold Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousand fold Watch us as we birth the new world from the ashes of the old And make a future so bright it's a sight to behold When we stand up and fight we can right any wrong On the long path to justice, arm in arm, we march along Solidarity forever (forever ever) forever long We're unbreakable togerher for the union makes us strong
