Keep On Marching
Embracing Legacy: Upholding Courageous Struggles
Lyrics
They fought for what they knew was right,
Individuals fought for what they believed was morally just.
So that we all would one day see the light.
Their struggle aimed for a future where everyone experiences enlightenment.
They fought in the streets.
The fight extended to urban areas, symbolizing a broad societal conflict.
They fought in the fields.
The battle encompassed rural spaces, indicating a widespread commitment.
Some were beaten, some were even killed.
Some endured physical harm, and others lost their lives during the struggle.
So many in graves they lay.
Many individuals rest in graves due to their sacrifice.
So many debts we never could repay.
A debt exists that cannot be fully repaid for the sacrifices made.
How could we look our children in the eye
A challenge to face our children if we allow the dream to perish.
If we're just gonna let the dream die?
The importance of preserving the dream for future generations.
Sometimes it makes me want to cry
The emotional impact of witnessing the potential failure of the dream.
When we sit back and we don't even try
Frustration when we don't actively strive for the dream's realization.
Our ancestors paid the price so that you and I,
Recognition of the ancestral sacrifices enabling our current existence.
Can live and not die.
An affirmation of life due to the sacrifices of those who came before.
Keep On Marching
A call to persevere and continue the struggle.
Keep On Marching
Reiteration of the call to persist in the struggle.
Keep On Marching
Emphasis on the continuous march towards a better future.
Keep On Marching
A repetition of the urging to persist in the march.
When we know what we're really fighting for
A reminder to understand the true purpose of the ongoing fight.
The struggle does not have to be like war
Suggesting that the struggle doesn't have to be confrontational like war.
Let's come together in these streets
An invitation to unite peacefully in the public spaces.
Let's come together peacefully.
An encouragement to come together in a harmonious manner.
