Marching On
Jamie Foxx · Other Songs - Jamie Foxx
then baby I'm a soldier
dodging the pain
fighting for change
my heart keeps marching on
the scars from every battle we had
only made me stronger
i laid down my life
so love can survive
my heart keeps marching on
(keeps marching on)
I'm out here standing
on the front lines
defending this instant
that's how i earn the stripes
see I'm willing
to turn my
to keep you in my life
whatever it takes
whatever they cause
i will gladly pay
if it's true that love is war
then baby I'm a soldier
dodging the pain
fighting for change
my keeps marching on
the scars from every battle we had
only made me stronger
i laid down my life
so love can survive
my heart keeps marching on
(keeps marching on)
tension
building
but there's no giving up
there'll be conflict
struggle
it don't matter we're tough enough
we can do this
it's possible
to win it over those
whatever it takes
whatever the cause
i will gladly pay
if it's true that love is war
then baby I'm a soldier
dodging the pain
fighting for change
my heart keeps marching on
the scars from every battle we had
only made me stronger
i laid down my life
so love can survive
my heart keeps marching on
after all the smoke lifts
we gonna still be standing
all the blood, sweat, and tears
love will be demanding
there will be some tragedies
we gonna have some causalities
never surrender
never wanna hear you say
are you done?
i give in
wave the flag
had enough i give in
so even when it hurts
still keeps marching
i know what it's worth
still keep marching
they'll put me in the dirt
I'll still put keep marching
no matter what the words
I'll still keep marching
if it's true that love is war
then baby I'm a soldier
dodging the pain
fighting for change
my heart keeps marching on
