Solidarity
We stand in solidarity
we're weary but we're ready
verse 1
I grew up in the suburbs
I sing now for my supper
Don't live the life of Riley
But it's not that far removed
A stranger to the struggle
I've never walked a mile
in your shoes
verse 2
I grew up in the east end
could've joined the union
building cars in Dagum
instead I packed my bags
landed in America
ended up in Canada
I fly no country's flag
Solidarity
We stand in solidarity
we're weary but we're ready
pushing boulders up the hill
let em have the towers
the next blues sky is ours
We're in this fight to win
and we will (and we will)
verse 3
I worked in New Orleans
in 1966
cleaning up the damage
after the hurricane
Rode the bus across the city
from Saint Bernard
to Pontchartrain
verse 4
I been to California
the new one and the old one
you find your people everywhere
they open up your mind
They might be left of centre
but they won't be
left behind
Solidarity
We stand in solidarity
we're weary but we're ready
pushing boulders up the hill
let em have the towers
the next blues sky is ours
We're in this fight to win
and we will
Solidarity
We stand in solidarity
we're weary but we're ready
pushing boulders up the hill
let em have the towers
the next blues sky is ours
We're in this fight to win
and we will
Outro
Solidarity
We stand in solidarity
we're weary but we're ready
