"March Toward the 21st Century"

Lyrics by Unknown

Music by Unknown

 

Shoulder to shoulder, marching along,
    holding the banner high.
With faith in our hearts and joy in our song,
    "Peace!" is the battle cry.
We're building a highway of peace,
    where every man can be free.
We will fight - for the right -
    of every man to be free.
Marching forward to victory,
    in the 21st Century.
We are marching forward to victory,
    in the 21st Century.

Arm linked in arm, together we go,
    walking the great middle way.
Fighting the poisons of fear, greed and hate,
    winning the fight each day.
A treasure that's too close to see,
    freedom for you and for me.
We will fight - for the right -
    of every man to be free.
Marching forward to victory,
    in the 21st Century.
We are marching forward to victory,
    in the 21st Century.

La la la la, la la la la,
    la la la la, la la.
Heart close to heart, united and free,
    facing our destiny.
The road that we travel is long,
    but with hope in our hearts, we'll go on.
Marching forward to victory,
    in the 21st Century.
We are marching on to change history,
    in the 21st Century.

[repeat 1X]
