Brother Malcolm - Ramallah

From the darkest nightmare to the light of new life

He rose up to challenge the world

Lost in the insanity of drugs, crime, and poverty

This phoenix rose to righteously fight his war

He spit at our illusions and he raged against the lies

He knew he faced death but still he gladly gave his life

Life

What a beautiful rage

What a noble crusade

What a beautiful hatred

What a noble life lost taken away

If I only had the strength to stand half as tall for the truth

Maybe then I’d find my hope and faith renewed

I wish I could face this world

With the same bravery and beautiful rage and noble hatred

I wish I was as strong as you

In everything that I do

I wish I was as brave and true

Until the day I die
