Marchin On
Lyrics
For those days we felt like a mistake
Those times when loves what you hate
Somehow
We keep marching on
For those nights that I couldn't be there,
I've made it harder to know that you know
That somehow
We'll keep movin' on
There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
For all of the plans we've made
There isn't a flag I'd wave
Don't care where we've been
I'd sink us to swim
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know
We're not what we've seen
Oh for this dance we move with each other
There ain't no other step than one foot
Right in front of the other
There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
For all of the plans we made
There isn't a flag I'd wave
Don't care where we've been
I'd sink us to swim
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
Right, right, right, right, left
Right, right, right, right, left
Right, right, right, marchin' on
We'll have the days we break
And we'll have the scars to prove it
We'll have the bombs that we saved
But we'll have the heart
Not to lose it
For all of the times we've stopped
For all of the things I'm not
We put one foot in front of the other
We move like we ain't got no other
We go where we go we're marchin' on
Marchin' on
There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on (marching oh)
Right, right, right, right, left
Right, right, right, right, left
Right, right, right, right
Marchin' on (we're marchin' on)
We're marchin' on
Right, right, right, right, left
Right, right, right, right, left (marchin' on)
Right, right, right, right
Marchin' on (oh-oh, oh-oh)
