shaina taub & original broadway cast of suffs - keep marching lyrics
[verse 1]
i won’t live to see the future that i fight for
maybe no one gets to reach that perfect day
if the work is never over
then how do you keep marching anyway?
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
[chorus]
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
[post+chorus]
keep marching on
keep marching on
[verse 2]
and remember every mother that you came from
learned 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
[chorus]
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
[post+chorus]
keep marching on
[chorus]
yes, the world can be changed, ’cause 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
[outro]
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
