Steel Pulse - Rally round - live lyrics

CHORUS Rally round the flag Rally round the red Gold black and green Marcus say sir Marcus say Red for the blood That flowed like the river Marcus say sir Marcus say Green for the land Africa Marcus say Yellow for the gold That they stole Marcus say Black for the people It was looted from They took us away captivity captivity Required from us a song Right now man say repatriate repatriate I and I patience have now long time gone Father's mothers sons daughters every one Four hundred million strong Ethiopia stretch forth her hand Closer to God we Africans Closer to God we can In our hearts is Mount Zion Now you know seek the Lion How can we sing in a strange land Don't want to sing in a strange land no Liberation true democracy One God one aim one destiny CHORUS Rally round the flag Remember when we used to dress like kings Conqueror of land conqueror of seas Civilization far moved from caves Oppressor man live deh I curse that day The day they made us slaves I say How can we sing in a strange land Don't want to sing in a strange land Liberation true democracy One God one aim one destiny CHORUS Rally round the flag Red gold black and green A bright shining star--Africa Catch star liner right now--Africa A history no more a mystery--Africa Respect and authority--Africa Climb ye the heights of humanity Rally come rally rally come rally
