A Song For Lech Walesa Poem by Paul Henry Dallaire

There's a call ringing loud around the country
and it echoes through our hills and foreign lands
Directed to the Unions Lech Walesa
should free the Polish people from his hands

A lot they think he is askin
but they just don't care to understand
To have bread 'n meat upon the supper table
John Paul said together we will stand

Chorus:
Solidarity is together
if you don't cross the line you understand (picket line)
Solidarity if forever
to fight Communism in our land

Well it's all right to form a good strong Union
but most of all to fight for being free
Joe Hill like Lech Walesa was unwanted
cause he fought for the rights of you and me

MUSICAL INTERLUDE

Verse:
Well Boys it's good to be a workin
at the site of a construction or a mine
And have the good ol local five two seven
get you paid for all your overtime

Now brothers of our Unions heed my story
for together we will make it by and by
Raise the scarlet flag of hope and glory
rise up and proclaim that battle cry

CHORUS:
Solidarity is together
if you don't cross the line understand (picket line)
Solidarity is forever
to fight Communism in our land

Well it's our right to form a good strong Union
but most of all to fight for being free
Joe Hill like Lech Walesa was unwanted
cause he fought for rights of you and me

From the shores of the Atlantic ocean
to the waters of Pacific in B.C. (British Colombia) Canada
