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!
