Classic Poem

1

We are marching, truly marching
 Can't you hear the sound of feet?
We are fearing no impediment
 We have never known defeat.

2

Like Job of old we have had patience,
 Like Joshua, dangerous roads we've trod
Like Solomon we have built out temples.
 Like Abraham we've had faith in God.

3

Up the streets of wealth and commerce,
 We are marching one by one
We are marching, making history,
 For ourselves and those to come.

4

We have planted schools and churches,
 We have answered duty's call,
We have marched from slavery's cabin
 To the legislative hall.

5

Brethren can't you catch the spirit?
 You who are out just get in line
Because we are marching, yes we are marching
 To the music of the time.

6

We are marching, steady marching
 Bridging chasms, crossing streams
Marching up the hill of progress
 Realizing our fondest dreams.

7

We are marching, truly marching
 Can't you hear the sound of feet?
We are fearing no impediment
 We shall never know defeat.
