Song For Marcella
Bik McFarlane
Doesn´t seem quite so long ago,
The last time that I saw you,
Ain´t it funny how the memories grow,
They always fold around you,
They tried to break you in a living hell,
But they couldn´t find a way,
So they killed you in a H-Block cell,
And hoped that all would turn away,
Thought that your spirit couldn´t rise again
But it dared to prove them wrong,
And in death you tore away the chains,
And let the world hear Freedom´s Song
Yet the heartache and pain linger on,
They´re still here though its so long since you have gone,
But we´re stronger now you showed us how,
How freedom fight can be won
I wish there was an easy road to chose,
To bring the heartache to an end,
But easy roads are always sure to lose,
I´ve seen that time and time again,
If you can stand by me like yesterday,
I´ll find the strength to carry on,
So let your spirit shine along the way,
And our day will surely come
Yet the heartache and pain linger on,
They´re still here though its so long since you have gone,
But we´re stronger now you showed us how,
How freedom fight can be won, if we all stand as one
