I Marched On

Crushed by WII Brutal arms of Japan Father in prison Brother in heaven But I marched on Crushed by Korean War Brutal arms of North Goodbye, Father See you in heaven But I marched on Crushed by hunger Refugee in an island Fish swam all around No net to catch But I marched on Penniless in America Land of abundance Thirsty and hungry To climb a mountain top But I marched on Yes, I was crushed By wars By hunger By penniless But I have marched on Knowing I have peace in my heart I have freedom in my heart I have gold mine in my heart Nothing can touch them
