Discover the story of the song > Solidarity Forever – Pete Seeger

The song is about the importance of being in a union. The protagonist sings about how together, workers are much stronger than they are alone. The union has helped them build cities, railroads, and mines, but now they are struggling alone. However, being in a union gives them the power to break the hold the wealthy have on them and bring about a new world. The chorus repeats the phrase "Solidarity forever" to emphasize the importance of being united.
