Obscure Lyric for the week of Feb.23, 2008

Good Monday morning music fans and welcome to the last installment of the current them of "dead musicians" obscure lyrics. I certainly have enjoyed the music over the past month and am looking forward to moving on to living legends(not a hint). Next month, being the month that holds St. Patrick's day will hopefully include only Irish musicians. That should be fun, there's got to be more than Van the Man and Thin Lizzy right? All the way from Belfast to Dublin in one sentence.

I trust you had a nice weekend. We endured the snow and waited for our daughter Alex to return from Ecuador. She was there on a missions trip working as a camp counsellor with kids who usually live in a squatters village near a city named Playas. It was an amazing and eye opening trip for her, she has been forever changed based on what she saw and experienced.

This weeks song was written by a legend. I suppose that's redundant as most deceased musicians of some renown are considered legends. Oh well this one was an interesting person too. Unfortunately this musician passed away at the young age of 36. The song below is not obscure at all, and is considered one of this artists hits. Apparently, or is it a legend, it was the last song that the artist played live.  

Here are the lyrics:

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the almighty

We forward in this generation triumphantly

won't you help to sing these songs of of freedom

I would like to know the following:

The name of the artist:

The name of the song:

The name of the album it was released on:

What Will Smith movie ends with this song:

Have a great week, February is almost over, March along with the Lion and the Hare are coming as is St. Patrick's day, it will be time for Cead Mille Failte to spring soon. And, no, I haven't forgotten about the koolaid, that will come when my re-programming is completed.
