Lyrics
:
"Give me your hands Reach for the sky These hearts, these souls Gimme a gimme a gimme your hands A gimme your hands And we go marching on One, two, three, four" Well there's a young boy standing He's staring at the world You know he can't control his anger You can see it in his eyes Gonna smash the window He's gonna tear down the walls Hey mister you don't understand it Take a look at it through my eyes These are the kids they're powerless So you tell them so These are the kids 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 And we'll go MARCHING ON We�re not alone now, we're keeping on We're MARCHING ON Take a walk round your city walls Before it all comes down Take a walk round any street You're gonna feel the stares of us all Can you feel it burning Shame is what it's called Just look at what you have created Think of all the people against you These are the people that made you When you said you cared for us all These are the people who�ll break you Get prepared for the fall And we'll go MARCHING ON Hear our sound hear that voice We're growing stronger And we'll go MARCHING ON We're not alone and we're 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 About the power on the right side Fights the power on the left We have got to stand together Forget the east and west 'Cause there's another voice Crying in the ghetto Another mouth to feed Another heart beating in the ghetto Another soul to set free And we'll go MARCHING ON Hear our sound hear our voice We�re growing stronger And we'll go MARCHING ON We're not alone and were keeping on We go MARCHING ON I said Marching, marching, marching on Sing your voices Marching, marching, marching on Gimme your voices Marching, marching, marching on I said marching, marching, marching on "Sing" (Marching, marching, marching on) Gimme your voices (Marching, marching, marching on) Lift your voices higher, higher Sing out sing I said Marching, marching, marching on (and on and on) Marching, marching, marching on Lift up, lift up your voices Marching On Lift up, lift up, lift up your voices Lift up the song Because our hearts must have the courage to keep on marching on
