March, the freedom highway
March, each and every day
March, the freedom highway
March, each and every day

Made up my mind and I won't turn around

March, each and every day
March, the freedom highway
March, each and every day

Yes, we want peace (march)
If it can be found (march)
Marching freedom highway
Never turn around

So march, the freedom highway
March, each and every day
March, the freedom highway
March, each and every day

Made up my mind and I won't turn around
Made up my mind and I won't turn around
There is just one thing (march), I don't understand (march)
Why some folks think that freedom, is not for everyone

March, the freedom highway
March, each and every day
March, the freedom highway
March, each and every day
Ooh
