From the recordings Why We Walk and Why We Walk
Lyrics
Why We Walk
Today we will remember,
Those who live and those we’ve lost
In their names we give it all we’ve got to reach the mountaintop
We’re walking for a cure now
We are walking for our lives
We lift our voices high to break the silence and shine a brighter light
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz
This is why--- we walk
We're walking for the sisters
The mothers and the wives
We're walking for the empty place at the table they've left behind
We're walking for the families,
The husbands and the sons
And we’re walking all together, cuz it touches everyone
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz
This is why--- we walk
With every step we’re taking,
We’re getting closer to the top
If we all can do a little, together, together, together we can do a lot
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz
This is why we
Walk on Walk on
Walk on Walk on
Walk on Walk on
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz
This is why--- we walk
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk oh
This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz
This is why--- we walk
This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz
This is why--- we walk
