Glory Lyrics » John Legend
[Produced by John Legend]
[Chorus: John Legend]
One day when the glory comes
It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We will be sure, we will be sure
Oh glory
(Glory, glory) Ohh (Glory, glory)
[Verse 1: Common]
Hands to the Heavens, no man, no weapon
Formed against, yes glory is destined
Everyday women and men become legends
Sins that go against our skin become blessings
The movement is a rhythm to us
Freedom is like religion to us
Justice is juxtapositionin’ us
Justice for all just ain’t specific enough
One son died, his spirit is revisitin’ us
True and livin’ livin’ in us,
resistance is us
That’s why Rosa sat on the bus
That’s why we walk through Ferguson with our hands up
When it go down we woman and man up
They say, “Stay down”, and we stand up
Shots, we on the ground, the camera panned up
King pointed to the mountain top and we ran up

About John Legend’s Glory from Selma (Music from the Motion Picture) (2015)
Off the soundtrack to the movie
Selma
, John Legend & Common’s “Glory” won “Best Original Song” at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards and
the 87th Academy Awards
.
Inspired by the
1965 Selma to Montgomery marches
and the Civil Rights Movement in general, Common explained how the song also relates to the recent protests in Ferguson, MO:
I looked at Ferguson and saw what was going on, and knew that it wasn’t far from what was happening during the civil rights movement – people standing up for what they believe in, marching for what they believe in, protesting for what they believe in. We wanted this song to be inspirational. We wanted it to have that pain, but also hope.
Legend expressed a similar sentiment:
I wanted something that tied the spirit of Selma with what was happening in the streets at the time we were writing, which was people protesting in Missouri and eventually New York about injustice and police brutality.
On Jan. 18th 2015,
the pair went to Selma
to march in celebration of MLK Day even and there they even performed “Glory” live on the
Edmund Pettus Bridge

FAQs About Glory
What did Common & John Legend say about “Glory”?
Common called me up and said he needed a song for an independent movie, and it had to be a rap song. And I said, “OK. Let’s say a prayer to the ancestors and have them write the song.” He said, “What do you mean?” And I said, “Let’s pray, specifically, to Martin Luther King, Mike Brown, Medgar Evers, and ask them to give us their words. It has to be a mixture of yesterday and today, combined.” We prayed to the ancestors, and an hour and a half later, the words were there. I was sitting there in my underwear, and we just did it right over the phone.
