Come Home Africa | The 400 years is over!!!

Описание: I see your face in Carolina
Hear your laugh in London rain
I taste jollof in New Orleans
Same fire
Different flame

We braided maps into our hair
We hid our names inside our songs
But every drum that shook the air
Kept spelling where we’re from

[Chorus]
Come home
Africa
The 400 years is up
We been walking
We been wandering
Still we carry your love
Come home
Africa
In our blood
In our tongue
We were scattered
We remember
Every river we’re from (oh-oh)
Come home
Africa
The 400 years is done

[Verse 2]
Grandma’s story in Guyana
Sounds like elders back in Accra
Same proverbs over Sunday rice
Same side-eye
Same soft heart

We built shrines in brick apartments
Turned small kitchens into feasts
Even oceans couldn’t stop it
Your heartbeat under our feet

[Chorus]
Come home
Africa
The 400 years is up
We been walking
We been wandering
Still we carry your love
Come home
Africa
In our blood
In our tongue
We were scattered
We remember
Every river we’re from (yeah-yeah)
Come home
Africa
The 400 years is done

[Bridge]
We never left you
We only left the land
We kept you in the stories
We held you in our hands
From Kingston down to Rio
From Brixton back to Cape Town sand
We circle like the swallows
Till we’re landing where we stand (hey!)

[Chorus]
Come home
Africa
The 400 years is up
We been walking
We been wandering
Still we carry your love
Come home
Africa
In our blood
In our tongue
We were scattered
We remember
Every river we’re from
Come home
Africa
The 400 years is done
(We’re coming, we’re coming)
Come home
Africa
The long night meets the sun
