[Intro]
I'm coming, I'm coming
Hold on, it's really true, I'm coming
I'm coming, yes I'm coming
Please hold on, believe you me 'cause I'm coming
[Chorus]
I'm coming down the mountain track
I'm coming down real slow
In the distant I can hear a mighty whistle blow
And it's calling out, it's calling out, it's calling out to me
[Verse 1]
Our forefathers were driven here
And forced in chains and pain
To work the fields in boiling sun
In boiling sun and rain
They were whipped and kicked
They've all been tricked
And now we see the same
[Chorus]
And I'm coming, I'm coming home
Coming, coming, yes, I'm coming home
[Verse 2]
They took our land, they stole our gold
From the south of Africa
Enslaved the bold, controlled their souls
Evil people in this I-wah
So we've got to sight
The things that's right
And get up now and fight
[Outro]
And I'm coming, I'm coming home
Coming, coming, yes, I'm coming home
I'm coming, where is I to go?
Coming, coming, coming, come coming home
I'm coming, Africa is our home
