Lyrics
We Are Coming Verse: From the mountains wreathed and hoary, from the river and the plain, From the seaboard and the valley, we are marching forth again. We are marching, marching, marching, millions marching to the call Of justice for the nations and liberty for all! Refrain: We are marching, marching, marching, Millions marching to the call Of justice for the nations And liberty for all! Verse: We are coming, we are coming, as the pilgrims came of yore, We will rally ‘round Old Glory as our fathers did before. We are marching, marching, marching, millions marching to the call Of justice for the nations and liberty for all! Refrain Verse: With no malice in our bosom, with no hate, no dream of greed, Where the stricken millions beckon, where the maimed and starving bleed, We are marching, marching, marching, millions marching to the call Of justice for the nations and liberty for all! Refrain
