About

Verse 1

’Tis the dream of the many, the power we share,
’Tis the call to stand up for each neighbor’s care;
And when we join together where the prairie rolls bright,
We will find in the Flint Hills a justice-lit light.

Refrain

When true solidarity is gain’d,
To rise and to build we shan’t be restrain’d;
To turn, turn—organize day and night,
Till by turning, turning we set things right.

Verse 2

From the bluestem that shivers beneath the Kansas sky,
Hear a meadowlark singing as our banners fly;
We raise every voice in the working-class song,
Flint Hills DSA stands united and strong.

(Refrain)

When true solidarity is gain’d,
To rise and to build we shan’t be restrain’d;
To turn, turn—organize day and night,
Till by turning, turning we set things right.

Verse 3

We will broaden the circle, let no one stand alone,
Forge a commons of plenty where each need is known;
And the prairie wind whispers, “Keep hope burning bright,”
For the world we are sowing will bloom red and white.

(Final Refrain – slower)

When true solidarity is gain’d,
To rise and to build we shan’t be restrain’d;
To turn, turn—organize day and night,
Till by turning, turning we set things right.
