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
|

|
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

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
