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
