We teach your children, we plow your roads
We clean your office, we haul the heavy loads
Weʼre the workers who make this country run
We tend the gardens and the patients
We are families, friends and students
And weʼll stay here . . . until weʼve won
Chorus: When the people stand together
Ainʼt no power ever stronger
When the people stand together now
When the people stand together
Ainʼt no power ever stronger
People stand together now
Theyʼve got their money, theyʼve got their name
But weʼll no longer let them rig the game
And weʼll expose the unseen corporate hand
That keeps on taking and, in return,
Just wants more, itʼs time for them to learn
This statehouse is our line in the sand
From Wisconsin to Ohio
Indiana and then who knows,
From Michigan to New Jerseyʼs shore
United, we will gather
For our families and our future
Itʼs our unions, itʼs our lives weʼre fighting for!
