A Place Called Africa Lyrics
[00:13.59] There's a place called Africa, far, far away, whoa, woo
[00:28.93] There's a place called Africa, many miles away
[00:37.15] Mama says that's where we're from
[00:40.75] And I know she can't be wrong
[00:43.58] Take me back to Africa
[00:47.13] Mama, how did I get here?
[00:51.62] How did I stray?
[00:55.34] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[00:58.90] She said, "Once upon a time, my son
[01:01.68] They stowed us on a ship
[01:05.27] We had to work and slave each day
[01:08.82] The boss, he took our pay"
[01:11.63] But a brighter sun has dawned today
[01:15.22] They can't stop us, come what may
[01:18.81] A time shall come for you and I
[01:21.59] She bowed her head and cried, whoa, whoa
[01:28.81] Mama, please don't cry
[01:33.33] There's a place called Africa, far, far away, whoa, whoa
[01:58.57] There's a place called Africa, many miles away
[02:09.36] A brighter sun has dawned today
[02:13.92] They can't stop us, come what may
[02:16.63] A time shall come for you and I
[02:19.38] She bowed her head and cried, whoa, whoa
[02:26.69] Mama, please don't cry
[02:32.00] There's a place called Africa, far, far away
[02:37.53]
[00:28.93] There's a place called Africa, many miles away
[00:37.15] Mama says that's where we're from
[00:40.75] And I know she can't be wrong
[00:43.58] Take me back to Africa
[00:47.13] Mama, how did I get here?
[00:51.62] How did I stray?
[00:55.34] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[00:58.90] She said, "Once upon a time, my son
[01:01.68] They stowed us on a ship
[01:05.27] We had to work and slave each day
[01:08.82] The boss, he took our pay"
[01:11.63] But a brighter sun has dawned today
[01:15.22] They can't stop us, come what may

[02:19.38] She bowed her head and cried, whoa, whoa
[02:26.69] Mama, please don't cry
[02:32.00] There's a place called Africa, far, far away
