Do you carry your banner as far as you can? Rewriting the world with your imperfect pen? Til the next stubborn girl picks it up in a picket line over and over again? And you join in the chorus of centuries chanting to her The path will be twisted and risky and slow But keep marching, keep marching Will you fail or prevail, well, you may never know But keep marching, keep marching ‘Cause your ancestors are all the proof you need That progress is possible, not guaranteed It will only be made if we keep marching, keep marching on Keep marching on, keep marching on And remember every mother that you came from Learn as much from our success as our mistakes Don’t forget you’re merely one of many others On the journey every generation makes We did not end injustice and neither will you But still, we made strides so we know you can too Make peace with our incomplete power and use it for good ‘Cause there’s so much to do The gains will feel small and the losses too large Keep marching, keep marching You’ll rarely agree with whoever’s in charge Keep marching, keep marching ‘Cause your ancestors are all the proof you need That progress is possible, not guaranteed It will only be made if we keep marching, keep marching on Keep marching on Yes, the world can be changed, cuz we’ve done it before So keep marching, keep marching We’re always behind you, so bang down the door And keep marching, keep marching And let history sound the alarm of how The future demands that we fight for it now It will only be ours if we keep marching, keep marching on We must keep marching, marching, marching We must keep marching, marching, marching We must keep marching, marching, marching We must keep marching, marching, marching Come on, keep marching, marching, marching Keep marching on
