I Know What Makes Them March

I Know What Makes Them March By David J Walker First thing The new young boys in uniform Learn to sing In voices strong They learn to sing the songs That makes them swing Swing their arms and raise Their legs And march to the beat Made by boots Ingrained the rhythm in their heads Side by side In unison As if part of a living OD Green thing And For the first time They are not alone Marching and singing the song Of a soldier No longer A hapless boy in his fathers home Alone in his future Marching into a destiny With brothers who Sing the same song
