"Worth His Weight In Gold (Rally Round)" lyrics

Rally round the flag
Rally round the red
Gold, black, and green
Rally round the
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
Sir Marcus say
Black for the people it 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

Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, everyone
Four hundred, four hundred million strong
Ethiopia stretch forth her hands
Closer to God, we Africans
Closer to God, we Africans
Closer to God, we can
In our hearts is Mount Zion
Now you know, seek the Lion
Our hearts is Mount Zion
Now you know, now you know

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

Rally round the
Rally round the red
For the blood that flowed like the river
Rally round the
Rally round green
For the land, Africa
Rally round the
Rally round the yellow
For the gold that they stole
Rally round the
Rally round we, the black people

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, no, no, no
Liberation, true democracy
One God, one aim, one destiny

Rally round the flag
Rally round the red
Gold, black, and green
Rally round the
Rally round the red
Gold, black, and green

A bright, shining star, yeah, Africa
Catch star liner right now, yeah, Africa, Africa
A history no more a mystery, Africa, Africa
Respect and authority, Africa, Africa
Climb ye, the heights of humanity, Africa, Africa
Come rally, come rally, come rally, come rally round
Come rally, come rally, come rally, come rally round
