When the Union's inspiration
 * Through the Workers' blood shall run

There can be no power greater
 * Anywhere beneath the sun.

Yet what force on earth is weaker
 * Than the feeble strength of one?
 * But the Union makes us strong.


 * SolidartySolidarity [sic] forever!
 * Solidarity forever!
 * Solidarity forever!
 * For the Union makes us strong.

Is there aught we hold in common
 * With the greedy parasite,

Who would lash us into serfdom
 * And would crush us with his might?

Is there anything left for us
 * But to organize and fight?
 * For the Union makes us strong.

It is we who plowed the prairies,
 * Built the cities where they trade,

Dug the mines, and built the workshops,
 * Endless miles of railroad laid.

Now we stand outcast and starving
 * 'Mid the wonders we have made;
 * But the Union makes us strong!
