The Sound of Marching Feet

[Voice 1: Tenor] Mama saw the car lights, flashin' through the glass at dawn

[Voice 2: Alto, harmony] Said, "Baby, saw the car lights, flashin' through the glass at dawn"

[Voice 1: Tenor] [Voice 2: Alto] We grabbed our little ones and prayed we'd make it through the lawn

[Voice 1: Tenor] Ooh, the sound of marching feet, yeah, they're callin' out for me

[Voice 2: Alto, harmony] Got that rhythm in my soul, gonna march 'til we are free

[Voice 1: Tenor] [Voice 2: Alto] No more hidin' in the shadows, no more livin' on our knees

Lord, give us strength to walk this road to liberty

[Voice 1: Tenor] Neighbors whisper stories, of the families torn apart

[Voice 2: Alto, harmony] Yeah, neighbors whisper stories, 'bout the families torn apart

[Voice 1: Tenor] [Voice 2: Alto] But tonight we ain't breakin', we're just puttin' back our hearts

[Voice 1: Tenor] [Voice 2: Alto, pad] Ooh, the sound of marching feet, yeah, they're callin' out for me

Got that rhythm in my soul, gonna march 'til we are free

No more hidin' in the shadows, no more livin' on our knees

Oohh Lord, give us strength to walk this road to liberty

[Voice 2: Alto] The blues is in my bones, the struggle and the cry

But the soul is in the voices, reachin' to the sky

We're tired of the knockin', the worry and the pain

Standin' up together now, singin' through the rain

[Voice 1: Tenor] [Voice 2: Alto, pad] Ooh, the sound of marching feet, yeah, they're callin' out for me

Got that rhythm in my soul, gonna march 'til we are free

No more hidin' in the shadows, no more livin' on our knees

Oooohhh Lord, give us strength to walk this road to liberty

[Voice 1: Tenor] Got to walk this road, Lord mm mmm

[Voice 2: Alto, harmony] oohhh Walk this road to liberty

[Voice 1: Tenor] Walkin' to freedom, yeah...
