1 They 're marching, marching, marching­ Hear you the tramping feet On cool sequestered roadside And city 's teeming street? 2 Freedom's insistent drum bea t Has swung their souls in line, And they are marching forward , Heeding her call divine. 3 Brave hearts and clean, hard bodies­ Full measure of man power- They bring to help give battle To win her triumph's hour. 4 0, men with dusky faces, Yet hearts as true as steel , Filling your fighting places, You make a strong appeal 5 For a new, human justice That knows no color line , When Freedom 's dawn triumphant Over our world shall shine.
