Worth His Weight In Gold Lyrics

Worth His Weight In Gold 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
