Glory - A Call to Battle and Freedom
Sgt. Maj. John Rawlins: [to a group of children]
That's right, honeys. Ain't no dream. We runaway slaves, but we come back fightin men. Go tell your folks how kingdom come in the year of jubilee!
Sgt. Maj. John Rawlins:
If tomorrow is our great getting up moment...If tomorrow we have to meet the judgment day...Heavenly Father, we want you to let our folks know...that we died facing the enemy. We want'em to know, that we went down standing up! Amongst those that are fighting against our oppression. We want'em to know, Heavenly Father, that we died fighting for freedom!
Pvt. Jupiter Sharts: [praying aloud]
Tomorrow we goes into battle. So Lordy, let me fight with the rifle in one hand and the Good Book in the other. So that if I may die at the muzzle of the rifle...die on water, or on land, I may know that you blessed Jesus almighty are with me...and I will have no fear.
Union Corporal:
Give'em hell 54th!
