In your struggle for love

Hate struck you down

But in so many hearts

You're still around

You freed so many souls

From the depths of despair

But we will never forget

The burdens you had to bear

Oh Marcus we love you

You never shied from the things you had to do

Strength and courage were the name of truth, yeah

Oh Marcus we love you

You never shied from the things you had to do

Strength and courage were the name of truth, yeah

To believe in a different way

Was the order of the day

And I'm so glad to say

Your teachings are here to stay

You cast suicide

But your missions have never died

It lives on and on and on

Oh Marcus we love you

You never shied from the things you had to do

Strength and courage were the name of truth, yeah

Oh Marcus we love you

You never shied from the things you had to do

Strength and courage were the name of truth, yeah

You can't stand the Lord's mark

Oh no

You achieved the best of a bad situation

Gave hope to the people of the nation

Yes you did

You achieved the best of a bad situation

Gave hope to the people of the nation

Yes you did

Yes you did

Scattered all over the place

Living in disgrace

The people have lost their ways

Their minds have gone astray

Sheer hysteria

Told us look to Africa

To be around for long again

Oh Marcus we love you

You never shied from the things you had to do

Strength and courage were the name of truth, yeah

Oh Marcus we love you

You never shied from the things you had to do

Strength and courage were the name of truth, yeah

Oh Marcus we love you

You never shied from the things you had to do

Strength and courage were the name of truth, yeah
