Forward March Lyrics

[Intro]
Forward march!

[Verse 1]
Gather together, be brothers and sisters
We're independent (We're independent)
Join hands to hands, children started to dance
We're independent (We're independent)

[Refrain]
Don't be sad and blue
The Lord is still with you
Because the time has come when you can have your fun
So, make a run (We're independent)

[Verse 2]
Brothers and sisters give joy and praises
While it's under (Obey him)
Brothers and sisters give joy and praise
To His commandments (Obey him)

[Refrain]
Don't be sad and blue
The Lord is still with you
Because the time has come when you can have your fun
So, make a run (Yeah-yeah)
[Bridge]
Woah, ooh, woah (We're independent)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (We're independent)
Sing a song, sing a song
Sing something, dancing song, sing a song
We're independent, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
Brothers and sisters give joy and praises
While it's under (Obey him)
Brothers and sisters give joy and praise
To His commandments (Obey him)

[Refrain]
Don't be sad and blue
The Lord is still with you
Because the time has come when you can have your fun
So, make a run (We're independent)
Because the time has come when you can have your fun
So, make a run (We're independent)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
