Marching On
There are times when you look for a song that matches your mood, and you successfully locate it in your library.
There are also times when you don’t look for the song, but the song literally explodes out from your shuffled playlist and tells you, “I AM THE SONG FOR WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH.”
This song is that song for my September 2, 2010, 11:12 AM.
Marching On
OneRepublic
For those days we felt like a mistake,
Those times when love’s what you hate,
Somehow,
We keep marching 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.
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 marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).
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 marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).
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,
For this dance we’ll move with each other.
There ain’t no other step than one foot,
Right in front of the other.
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 marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).
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 marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).
Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right,
We’re marching on.
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 marching on.
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 marching on,
(We’re marching on)
(We’re marching on).
Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, left, right,
Right, right,
We’re marching on.
Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, left, right,
Right, right,
We’re marching on.
