how many miles must we march

exactly how much will have to burn

before we will look to the past to learn

we walk along this endless path

which has led us in a circle

so here we are right back

we can't let the future become our past

if we are to change the world

won't you tell me

tell me please

how many miles must we march

how many miles must we march

when i was a baby i was not prejudiced

hey how about you

this was something

that i learned in school

something they taught us to do

we can't let our future become our past

if we are to change the world

won't you tell me

tell me please

how many miles must we march

how many miles must we march

there must come a day

when a box is not somebody's home

the unfinished work of our heroes

must truly be our own

we can't let the future become our past

if we are to change the world

won't you tell me

tell me please

how many miles must we march

how many miles must we march

how many miles must we march

how many miles must we march

how many miles must we march

how many miles must we march
