Keep Marching.


I won't live to see the future that I fight for


Maybe no one gets to reach that perfect day


If the work is never over


Then how do you keep marching anyway?


Do you carry your banner as far as you can?


Rewriting the world with your imperfect pen?


'Til the next stubborn girl picks it up in a picket line over and over again?


And you join in the chorus of centuries chanting to her

The path will be twisted and risky and slow


But keep marching, keep marching


Will you fail or prevail? Well, you may never know


But keep marching, keep marching


'Cause your ancestors are all the proof you need


That progress is possible, not guaranteed


It will only be made if we keep marching, keep marching on

Keep marching on


Keep marching on

And remember every mother that you came from


Learned as much from our success as our mistakes


Don't forget you're merely one of many others


On the journey every generation makes


We did not end injustice and neither will you


But still, we made strides, so we know you can too


Make peace with our incomplete power and use it for good


'Cause there's so much to do

The gains will feel small and the losses too large


Keep marching, keep marching


You'll rarely agree with whoever's in charge


Keep marching, keep marching


'Cause your ancestors are all the proof you need


That progress is possible, not guaranteed


It will only be made if we keep marching, keep marching on

Keep marching on

Yes, the world can be changed, 'cause we've done it before


So keep marching, keep marching


We're always behind you, so bang down the door


And keep marching, keep marching


And let history sound the alarm of how


The future demands that we fight for it now


It will only be ours if we keep marching, keep marching on

We must keep marching, marching, marching


We must keep marching, marching, marching


We must keep marching, marching, marching


We must keep marching, marching, marching


Come on, keep marching, marching, marching


Keep marching on
