Want to Come Home

[Verse 1]
You got your brothers and your sisters in the West
They wanna come home, brothers come home
Blood, skin and bone and flesh
They wanna come home, sisters come home
And its a long time brothers we nuh rest
We wanna come home, brothers come home
And now that we have survived this test
We wanna come home, sisters come home

[Chorus]
Come home, come home, come home
We wanna come home to Africa, come home

[Verse 2]
Our backs are bruised and sore
We wanna come home, brothers come home
But still we have got our souls
We wanna come home, sisters come home
We are longing for our mother’s breast
We wanna come home, brothers come home
With lumps of anxiety in our chest
We wanna come home, sisters come home

[Chorus]
Come home, come home, come home
We wanna come home to Africa, come home

[Verse 3]
Oh Jah, bring the pick axe and the shovel
And the fork and the machete and a file everything
We going to the quarry with the boss man!
Hey Mr Prison Warden, I’ll be leaving you soon!
My sentence will soon be ended and I’ll be gone, gone
Gone!

[Chorus]
Come home, come home. come home
We wanna come home to Africa, come home

[Verse 4]
I and I a trample down Babylon
We wanna come home, brothers come home
To struggle for the African liberation
We wanna come home, sisters come home
You got your brothers and your sisters in the West
They wanna come home, brothers come home
Blood, skin and bone and flesh
They wanna come home, sisters come home

[Outro]
Come home, come home, come home
We wanna come home to Africa, come home
