Africa, Here We Come

(album: Protect Us Jah - 1997)

Mama ma Africa, oh God...
Oh God

We came to earth and found ourselves in the West
Each day of our lives we seek that life which is the best
And as we lift our eyes to the East
We see that land flowing with milk and honey
Big ship is sailing home
So come along, come along, come along
Brothers and sisters going home
We are aware and prepared now
That time is here

So Africa here we come
We're driving to our fathers land
Africa here we come
We're driving to the Promised Land
[x2]

We are the rightful owners
We're gonna [?] soldiers
We're crossing all different waters
Arriving at our final destination, Ethiopia
Oh mother of civilization
We're tired of all this persecution
Welcome us home with love and grace
Oh mama Africa we see that smile on your face

Africa here we come
We're driving to our fathers land
Africa here we come
We're driving to the Promised Land
[x2]

Mama ma Africa, oh God
Trod we a go trod it
Live we a go live it
Cos a' tek we a' go tek it
A' Africa we love it
Trod we a' go trod it
Live we a' go live it
Cos a' tek we a' go tek it
Africa we love it

It's a feeling that deep down withing
Where Africans are broken hear our ancestors calling
And as we lift our eyes to the East
We see that land flowing with milk and honey
Big ship is sailing home
So come along, come along, come along
Brothers and sisters going home
We are aware and prepared now
That time is here

So Africa here we come
We're driving to our fathers land
Africa here we come
We're driving to the Promised Land
