When Will You Come Home |
by Toris Okotie |
Children of the blessed womb blood of the royal role A time so long Slaves you were With prayers of tears And men so brave Through the Underground Railroad Free men you became In a foreign land You've painted it black Where, once you were Negro's. A journey so long some brave ones died and now they smile to see you free. The bells of Africa; echoes Waiting for your return With fist and festivals We'll welcome you home. Home: to your Motherland. |
