If You Can March

If you must march,
March.
If you must play the drums,
Pound and play them well.
If you must sound the bell for freedom,
Ring—ring that freedom bell.

If freedom is your honor,
If you refuse to lay it aside,
If justice is your banner,
Then don't let it be denied.

If you must march,
March.
America needs your step.
It needs the drums you pound.
It needs the hope you've kept.

If you can march for America,
If you can march for the freedom of our land,
March, and march.
March in step.
