Marchin’ On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
For those days we felt like a mistake
Those times when loves what you hate
Somehow
We keep marchin' on
For those nights when I couldn't be there
I've made it harder to know that you know
That somehow
We'll keep moving on

[Pre-Chorus]
There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

[Chorus 1]
For all of the plans we've made
There isn't a flag I'd wave
Don't care if we bend
I'd sink us to swim
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
[Verse 2]
For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know
We're not what we've seen, oh
For this dance we'll move with each other
There ain't no other step than one foot
Right in front of the other

[Pre-Chorus]
There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

[Chorus 1]
For all of the plans we've made
There isn't a flag I'd wave
Don't care if we bend
I'd sink us to swim
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
[Chorus 2]
Right, right, right, right, left, right
Right, right, right, right, left, right
Right, right
We're marchin' on

[Bridge]
We'll have the days we break
And we'll have the scars to prove it
We'll have the bonds that we save
But we'll have the heart not to lose it
For all of the times we've stopped
For all of the things I'm not
We put one foot in front of the other
We move like we ain't got no other
We go when we go
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

[Pre-Chorus]
There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
[Chorus 2]
Right, right, right, right, left, right
Right, right, right, right, left, right
Right, right
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
Right, right, right, right, left, right
Right, right, right, right, left, right
Right, right
We're marchin' on

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 [?]
