Let Us March
I stake no virtue, my heart ill mopes.
regarding issues of importance, we need no votes.
We need to march;
We need to chant;
take the future in our hands.
There's no tomorrow, no time to waste,
yesterday has been forgotten,
...let us march.
We are not slaves;
Let us march,
heads held high, carrying picket signs.
...- Or not, we are human beings united;
Our voices riot, are hearts in sync.
Let us march to the future;
-and destroy greed.
The past is paved with tears, let us build a bridge;
...-let us cross that bridge together, holding hands, forsaking fears.
Let us sail a ship; a silver ship called hope,
......-to where our spirits need a lift, to shine a light upon us all ,
a shining beacon lit.
Let us march;
Let us cross an ocean, an ocean of despair; to never drown in oppression,
let us fly free in open air.
Let us march,
let us chant,
let us move forward;
let us march forward forever.
