When the Union's inspiration through the worker's 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?
For the Union makes us strong.  

Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever,
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, 'midst the wonders we have made
But the Union makes us strong.

Chorus  

They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn
But without our brain and muscle, not a single wheel can turn
We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
That the Union makes us strong.

Chorus  

In our hands is placed a power, greater than their hoarded gold
Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousandfold
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the Union makes us strong.

Chorus
