patti smith - "notes for the future"
Listen my children and you shall hear
The sound of your own steps
The sound of your hereafter
Draping its banner across your wrists
Wake up arms
Delicate feet
For as one to march the streets...
D'avance, merci de votre aide.

défiler dans les rues tel un seul Homme
Another suggestion. To my mind, "march" has a strong military connotation so it is not enough to translate it to "marcher".
Also, while "tel un seul homme" might sound sexist, if you refer to it as "Hommes" with a capital H, you are no longer talking about men but human beings of all genders, eliminating the possibly sexist feeling to the sentence.

Smith is calling young people to arms (here to march in the streets), much as this traditional poem did in describing the Revolutionary War.
