All the world that's owned by idle drones,
Is ours and ours alone.
We have laid the wide foundations.
Built it skywards stone by srone.
It is ours and not to slave in,
But to master and to own,
While the Union makes us strong.
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 galling shackles—
Gain our freedom when we learn
That the Union makes us strong.
In our hands is placed a power
Greater than their greedy gold—
Greater than the might of armies,
Magnified a thousandfold;
We can bring to birth the new world
From the ashes of the old,
For the Union makes us strong!
