[Intro]
\nLeft foot…
\n(Right foot…)
\nLeft foot…
\n(Right foot…)<\/p>\n
Where are we going?
\n(We don’t know!)
\nWhy are we going?
\n(Just go, go, go!)<\/p>\n
The road was familiar
\n(The signs looked the same)
\nSo nobody noticed
\n(When nothing remained)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nThey woke up in the morning
\nPut their boots upon the ground
\nHeard the drum begin beating
\nAnd they followed that old sound<\/p>\n
There was comfort in the rhythm
\nThere was order in the line
\nEverybody kept on marching
\nSo they figured it was fine<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nBut the road had started shifting
\n(Underneath their feet)
\nAnd the world had started changing
\n(Beyond the marching beat)<\/p>\n
Nobody stopped to wonder
\n(Nobody asked why)
\nThey kept their eyes upon the banner
\nAnd their banners toward the sky<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nNot knowing
\n(It had gone wrong)
\nThey sang…
\n(The same old song)<\/p>\n
Couldn’t see reality
\n(So they marched, marched along)
\nMarching on
\n(… and on and on)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nThe map was getting older
\nBut the map was still the map
\nSo they folded up the corners
\nAnd ignored the little cracks<\/p>\n
The river changed direction
\nThe weather changed its tune
\nBut somebody said, “It’s normal”
\nSo they marched beneath the moon<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nThinking each step was easier
\nThan turning back around
\nSince everybody’s marching
\nYou don’t question where you’re bound<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nNot knowing
\n(It had gone wrong)
\nThey sang…
\n(The same old song)<\/p>\n
Couldn’t see reality
\n(So they marched, marched along)
\nMarching on
\n(… and on and on)<\/p>\n
[Verse 3]
\nThey marched through changing seasons
\nThey marched through rising seas
\nThey marched past burning forests
\nAnd dying ancient trees<\/p>\n
They marched past empty rivers
\nThey marched past fields of dust
\nThey marched beneath a darker sky
\nBecause they thought they must<\/p>\n
The rhythm kept them going
\nThe rhythm kept them blind
\nA marching song can sound so good
\nWhen nobody checks the sign<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nStop!
\n(Look around)
\nAnd from bottom to top…
\n(Look around… see what can be found)<\/p>\n
Left…
\n(Right?)
\nRight…
\n(Left…)
\nNow, nothing’s quite right<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nNow knowing
\n(It had gone wrong)
\nThey sang…
\n(A different song)<\/p>\n
They could see reality
\n(No more marching blindly)<\/p>\n
Standing still
\n(… to change their minds)<\/p>\n
Now knowing
\n(To be kind)<\/p>\n
They sang…
\n(A new tune)<\/p>\n
Let love resume!<\/p>\n
