Marching on Songtext

von Mike Peters

Well, there's a young boy standing
Staring at the world
You know he can't control his anger
You can see it in his eyes
He's gonna smash the window
He's gonna tear down the walls
Say "Mister, you don't understand it
Take a look at it through my eyes"

These are the people they're powerless
So you tell them so
These are the people they're powerful
Don't say you haven't been told

And we'll go MARCHING ON
Hear our sound hear our voice
We're growing stronger
MARCHING ON
We're not alone in keeping on
We're MARCHING ON

Take a walk round your city walls
Fore they all fall down
Take a walk down any street
You're gonna feel the stares of us all
Can you feel it burning
Shame is what it's called
You better look at what you have created
Think of all the people that hate you

These are the people that made you
When you said you cared for us all
These are the people gonna break you
I'd get prepared for the fall

And we'll go MARCHING ON
Hear our sound hear our voice
We're growing stronger
MARCHING ON
We're not alone in keeping on We're MARCHING ON

We're the young who stand up
We must never be silenced
We've gotta speak up now
For all our sakes
And lift our voices higher
Let's sing our song
Keep on marching marching
And never forget
That while the power on the right side
Fights the power on the left
We have got to stand together
Forget the east and west

When there's another voice crying in the ghetto
Another mouth to feed
Another heart beating in the ghetto
Another soul to set free

MARCHING ON
Hear our sound hear our voice
We're growing stronger
MARCHING ON
We're not alone in keeping on
We're going MARCHING ON

Keep on MARCHING
MARCHING
MARCHING ON
Never be silent

MARCHING
MARCHING
MARCHING ON
Lift up your... voices now
And sing this song

Cause our hearts must have the courage
To keep on MARCHING ON

MARCHING
MARCHING
MARCHING ON
