lyrics

Hey, brother
take a walk with me
I know the night is falling
But we're as ready as we'll ever be

We'll make a stop
for your sister
your mother and your father will see
how we wake up the neighbors and take to the streets
cause the future ain't what it used to be

That's why we walk
we walk when we need to believe
That's why we walk
sometimes it takes a group to lead

Hey, sister
take a walk with me
I know the light is fading
but it won't always be

We'll make our way
through the country
and we'll sing to keep good company
then we'll go to the city and take to the streets
cause the future ain't what it's used to be

That's why we walk
we walk when we need to believe
That's why we walk
sometimes it takes a group to lead

The road is long for everyone
mothers, fathers, daughters, sons
And I know, I know that you are with me
And I see the ones who came before me, lining up

Hey, Everybody
take a walk with me
I know the sun is rising
And shining right through the trees

The crowd is growing
in front and in back of me
so let's walk together and take to the streets
cause the future ain't what it's used to be

That's why we walk
we walk when we need to believe
That's why we walk
sometimes it takes a group to lead
