Unity's Resonance: Voices of the All NEHU Workers' Union
Oh members of the All NEHU Workers' Union (ANWU)
Stay united as you are always ,
your voices swell and rise
Marching together under changes in skies
Though the path wanders, your spirit stays true
Bonded as one, there's nothing you can't do
The ark of the union, its doors open wide
All are welcomed to travel inside
Once shut it's harder to join the throng
So seize the chance while the chance comes along
Those who spit hatred, meet them with care
Kill their cruelty with kindness to spare
For time is a friend who can soften hearts
And former foes become comrades with starts
Avoid all anger, shun confrontation’s trap
Stay far from violence, give wisdom the map
Keep fellow members close, united you'll stay
And strengthen the union day after day
No matter how others may fail or betray
Have faith that together you'll find the right way
Officers and leaders may falter and stray
But your path ahead is lit when hope lights the way
Believe in the power you hold as a whole
Though some seek to crush you, stay true to your goal
Darkness can't smother your spirit's bright flame
Your voices united are thunder's loud claim
You are raindrops that swell to rivers and seas
Winds of great change that shake towering trees
Stars that shine guidance so none lose their way
Dawn bringing light after night's darkest day
Stay closely bonded, let trust be your guide
March to horizons once hidden inside
Where your shared vision of justice leads forth
And all chains of injustice drop shattered to earth
No wall can contain you, no force bring you down
Your spirit arises as you stand your ground
Proudly declaring that all should be free
To live lives of meaning and dignity
Some will oppose you and stand in your path
But stride on undaunted in solidarity's wrath
The road may seem endless, the journey be long
But your voices united will conquer each wrong
Oh members stand tall, for your time is at hand
To build the just world for which you all stand
Though trouble surrounds you, cling fast to your friends
And ride out the storm till its fierce power ends
Hardships will come and dark days bring their test
But you'll weather all when united abreast
Draw strength from each other when burdens weigh down
And lift up your hearts as you march through the town
Your hands joined together can move mountains high
Your eyes fixed on justice will never run dry
March on through the darkness and never lose sight
Of the hopeful new dawn that awaits after night
Some souls may lose faith and others betray
But you stay the course through night and day
Helping up those who stumble and fall behind
For no one gets left alone on this climb
Your foes underestimate all you can do
When voices cry out and spirits stay true
Your power's a fire that will never burn out
As long as you nourish its flames with each shout
So rally together, lift high every voice
Make injustice tremble, let hope's bells rejoice
The walls that divide you will crumble away
When you stand as one at the dawning of day
History echoes with those who said "No more!"
Crying out for justice in freedom's great roar
Now to their legacy you all lay claim
Writing your lines in humanity's name
Raise up your banners, let anthems ring clear
The time for true change and new worlds is here
Shoulder to shoulder, souls marching as one
Saying enough to cruelty - freedom is won!
Each small courageous act fans freedom's fire
Sparking a blaze ever rising higher
So never lose heart, never falter nor fail
Together you'll always prevail
Dark clouds loom ahead but sunlight will come
After the storm passes and darkness is done
So cling to each other through all that may be
And raise up your voices - the future is free!
No weapon formed against you will e'er prosper
Your fight ends in triumph no tyrant can stop
Unity power - this truth forever stands
So hold to it firmly in hearts and hands
The burdens are heavy but you are not weak
You'll bear every weight together and not seek
To crush one another under judgment and shame
But lift and empower those who society blame
Stride on with compassion for each fellow soul
Understanding we all seek life's greater whole
Our shared human spirit ever pushes us higher
To build that tomorrow lifted by love's fire
So let those flames guide you and chart the course
That leads to true justice - humanity's source
All colors and creeds in one family entwined
Around the world's heart - this hope you must find!
Keep voices uplifted, let songs fill the air
Of mercy, redemption, courage to dare
To dream of a world where all bias is gone
And we all march together - prejudices won
Hold close to the vision of that future bright
However far off it may seem to sights
Progress comes slowly but come it always will
When hearts stay united and spirits fulfill
The oath to keep marching 'til all chains lay broken
And into the light all human souls woken
To lives filled with purpose and dignity shared
Where no one gets left out or unfairly snared
Whatever comes next on this long road you walk
Be sure you stay shoulder to shoulder and talk
To lift tired spirits when any strength lacks
Keep voices united - the future is cracks
In old walls of hate and division and fear
Your hand joined in hand shows the new world is near
So never stop dreaming, demanding, believing
That change comes through solidarity's heaving
Rise up without violence for peace justice brings
Hold to nonviolence - that's where freedom begins
So build that new world your good hearts envision
Through unity, courage and compassion's decisions
You members are raindrops that swell to great seas
Re-shaping the shores of our histories
So rally together this bold world to mold
And fear no darkness - the light lies ahead!
United in spirit, together you'll soar
To open up futures not dared before
With patience and wisdom, compassion's great tide
Will ever push justice and change to your side
Dark skies will pass and the sun again shine
Its golden rays gleaming divine
To show you the way ever onward unfurled
Toward vistas of justice reshaping the world
Have faith when you falter and strength when you tire
The flames of hope's torch ever burn fierce with fire
All works of true change demand effort and cost
But none with pure hearts in the struggle are lost
Hold to the vision of all people free
Though distant it seems, you'll cause it to be
By never bowing to hardship or fear
And lifting each other when spirits need cheer
Some souls may lose fire and leave empty spaces
But new hands will rise up to take their rightful places
For worthy deeds bear fruit in time yet to come
And justice enduring will never succumb
Dark clouds loom ahead but sunlight will come
When justice and mercy together have won
So cling to each other through all that may be
And raise up your voices - the future is free!
Let songs of redemption through darkness resound
Their hopeful notes rising discord to drown
Though thunder may crash and fierce lightning may flare
Your voices together will show you still dare
To dream of that dawn when all shackles unbind
And we walk together with wisdom entwined
That understands only through unity’s sway
Can a new world of justice come forth into day
So ready your voices, lift high every cry!
Make old walls of hate and division comply
And tremble and crack till they all crumble down
And tyrant injustice comes crashing to ground
Then onto that cleared landscape your vision instill
And actively work to transform and fulfill
All new worlds you saw in your hearts full of grace
Where humanity marches in one common race
Stride on through the darkness and never lose sight
Of the hopeful new dawn that awaits after night
Some souls may lose faith and others betray
But you stay the course through night and day
Your hands joined together can move mountains high
Your eyes fixed on justice will never run dry
March on through the darkness and never lose sight
Of the hopeful new dawn that awaits after light!
