Marchin On
Timbaland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For those days we felt like a mistake
Those times when loves what you hate
Somehow,
We keep marching on

For those nights that I couldn't be there,
I've made it harder to know that you know
That somehow
We'll keep movin' on

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

So many hills we had to climb
Almost without our strength
But we kept,
Slowly marchin' on

Time heals the wounds we couldn't close
Blood, sweat and tears dried up
We're okay
We kept marchin' on

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

Get your legs and walk
'Cause we're not too far
A little more to go
But we're marchin' on
We marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We marchin'

If we lose the sun, we couldn't deny that
If we go the wind, we gotta fight back
But we marchin' on
We marchin' on
We're marchin' on
We're marchin'

The bridges are gone
And we're almost home
The end is close

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,
We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on

There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have
I promise you that,




We're marchin' on
We're marchin' on
