“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?
Till 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.
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.”
