A Place Called Africa |
| There’s a place called Africa, far, far away, whoa, woo |
| There’s a place called Africa, many miles away |
| Mama says that’s where we’re from |
| And I know she can’t be wrong |
| Take me back to Africa |
| Mama, how did I get here? |
| How did I stray? |
| Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa |
| She said, «Once upon a time, my son |
| They stowed us on a ship |
| We had to work and slave each day |
| The boss, he took our pay» |
| But a brighter sun has dawned today |
| They can’t stop us, come what may |
| A time shall come for you and I |
| She bowed her head and cried, whoa, whoa |
| Mama, please don’t cry |
| There’s a place called Africa, far, far away, whoa, whoa |
| There’s a place called Africa, many miles away |
| A brighter sun has dawned today |
| They can’t stop us, come what may |
| A time shall come for you and I |
| She bowed her head and cried, whoa, whoa |
| Mama, please don’t cry |
| There’s a place called Africa, far, far away |
