Malcolm X Song
"Malcolm", by Phil Morrison
Strong as the wind in a storm-that was Malcolm
Words that were wise he’d say
Our cause is right
Stand up and fight
There’s nothing can get in our way
Life on the streets he survived
That was Malcolm
No one could take him down
His mind was quick
His past was slick..but
He turned his life around
(bridge)
El Hajj Malik El Shabazz was his name
Words that reflect his faith
Justice and peace
Unity he’d proclaim
Goals for the whole human race
Brave under fire standing tall
That was Malcolm
Smart as a man could be
From Detroit Red
The life he led
Noble his destiny
(optional)
Praise for the prince ’round the world
They knew Malcolm…A
Voice heard by those oppressed
His message clear
He had no fear
Great strength in his heart he possessed
(c)2019 pbm
